Item Description
In 2003 the nation of Iceland celebrated 1000 years of chickens as residents of their island! I'm not sure who may have entered the momentous occasion of the introduction of poultry to their shores into the history books in the year 1003 . . but it must have been a big event among the Vikings of that time.This handcolored cachet shows a rooster crowing GAGGALAGÓÓ! in fluent Icelandic (as seen in the background of the stamp), as the Puffin Cachets mascot covers his ears and a lovely chicken lady looks on, unperturbed by the handsome male's outburst.
The reverse of the cover shows that this is cover #6 of only 14 covers sent to Iceland for servicing.
Adding this cover to your collection would indeed be something to crow about!
