SOAR Stamp - Ireland

Stamps on a Roll (SOAR)

On 22 July 2010 An Post introduced Stamps On A Roll. The stamps are on rolls of 600 and are only given a denomination at the time of purchase. To distinguish these stamps from other stamp products, they are being given the name Stamps On A Roll or SOAR for short.  They are self-adhesive labels with the pre-printed designs, the country name, and upright sequential number in the lower right corner and at the point of purchase are printed with the face value, date of purchase, a unique identifier code for each stamp including the number of the post office and the device, and operational control numbers.

In January 12,2017, Ireland post issued  9th definitive stamp series - A history of Ireland in 100 Objects, a selection. The objects featured on the SOAR stamps are a Mesolithic Fish Trap, a Ceremonial Axehead, a Neolithic Bowl, a Gold Hoard, a Flint Macehead, Bronze Age Funerary Urns, the Tara Torcs and the Broighter Boat.  The stamps features Augmented Reality, If you scan the stamp with CEE App it will take you to www.100objects.ie/about/ .
