Overview: Vatican FDC – 1992 “Anniversary of the Discovery of America”
- Stamp Issue: In 1992, Vatican City issued a set of stamps (Scott catalogue nos. 898–902) commemorating the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s discovery of America.
- FDC Market: These First Day Covers are commonly found in philatelic listings. On platforms like eBay, a Vatican FDC titled “Vatican/Granada 1992 Anniversary of the Discovery of America” has been offered for around US $6, plus shipping.
- Granada Connection: The cover often references Granada, likely due to issuance or a special event related to the Granada ’92 international philatelic exhibition—a significant stamp show in Spain during that year. This detail is supported by the broader context of joint philatelic events at the time.
