⚽ Mozambique 2004 European Championship Stamps

• Year of Issue: 2004 (or marketed as part of a 2001-2004 series).
• Issuer: Mozambique (República de Moçambique).
• Theme: Football / UEFA Euro 2004.

⚠️ A Note for Collectors (Illegal/Abusive Issues)

It is important to know that many stamp issues from a few countries, including Mozambique, around the early 2000s that focus on popular, non-local themes (like European football or Hollywood actors) are sometimes considered “abusive” or “unauthorized” issues by some major stamp catalogs (like Scott).

• What this means: While these stamps were printed and sold by the postal administration’s agent, they may have been primarily created for collectors rather than for genuine postal use in Mozambique, and in some cases, certain varieties might be entirely unauthorized.
• Impact: This issue is widely available and often sells at a low price on the collector’s market. You will find it easily, but established catalog values may be confusing or non-existent.

💰 Collector Value

For the Mozambique Euro 2004 Miniature Sheet(s) (Mint Never Hinged – MNH), the value is generally quite low, making them very affordable for thematic collectors:

• Market Price: Typically around $3.00 to $5.00 USD per souvenir sheet (or a full set of a few sheets for a slightly higher combined price).
