Guernsey Post is excited to unveil the world’s first cyberstamps, which combine the heritage of Guernsey’s physical postage stamps with secure digital innovation, marking a new era in stamp collecting
The debut cyberstamps depict two characters – iconic Royal Golden Guernsey Goats, Billy and Nanny. Each postage stamp, which is valid for use in Guernsey, is a limited-edition product that unlocks a digital twin: a one-of-a-kind illustration of a Royal Guernsey Golden Goat, each with its own unique traits – such as fur colour, clothing and accessories. These randomly assigned traits determine the overall rarity of each goat – common, rare and legendary.
Rich Heritage
Taking inspiration from Guernsey’s rich heritage, each accompanying digital twin features the Royal Golden Guernsey Goat breed with other traditional elements – such as the goat wearing a Guernsey jumper, set against a recognisable Guernsey backdrop. While the artwork for the postage stamp reflects a more traditional art style, the digital twin artwork is more abstract in style.
Each Guernsey cyberstamp package includes:
• One limited-edition cyberstamp - Billy Goat or Nanny Goat.
• One exclusive souvenir sheet featuring the two official postage stamps depicting Billy and Nanny with a special cancellation mark - exclusively available with this release.
• By scanning the cyberstamp, owners can activate their digital goat collectible, each with different traits, accessories, and even a personalised story! This makes every goat truly one of a kind, with its own ranking in the global rarity statistics.
Bridget Yabsley, head of philatelic at Guernsey Post, said: - “We’re incredibly proud to be leading the way with the launch of the world’s first cyberstamps. By combining physical stamps with a dynamic digital experience, we hope to attract a new generation of collectors, while still honouring the storytelling that make postal stamps so special. To feature the Royal Golden Guernsey Goat – reflecting the island’s heritage - on our debut cyberstamps is so exciting.”
