Series Overview
The Fantastic Animals series is Liechtenstein's first small-sheet crypto stamp series, issued by Liechtensteinische Post AG and Philately Liechtenstein from December 2022 onward.

The Meerkat edition was released on 15 February 2023 with a total mintage of 3,000 NFTs. The meerkat character wears a necklace in four colours. Sale price: CHF 9.00.
Colour Variants
- Rainbow necklace: 50 (1.67%) (rarest)

- Copper necklace: 900 (30.0%)
- Turquoise necklace: 1,400 (46.7%) (most common)
Technical Implementation
The series is anchored on Ethereum. The early Fantastic Animals releases, however, use blockchain verification (OriginStamp / Bitcoin-anchored timestamp) rather than a tradeable ERC NFT — authenticity is proven via a hash, not a transferable on-chain token. In the official app the NFTs show animated effects and sound elements.
Design Attribution
The series design is attributed to Isabella Gassner, a Liechtenstein-based designer confirmed for the 2024 NFT editions. Her involvement in the 2022–2023 animal series is not explicitly documented; the visual consistency suggests common authorship. Vector art style with bold colours and fashion accessories.
Position in Liechtenstein Portfolio
The Fantastic Animals series stands apart from Liechtenstein's other crypto stamp editions through its simplified mechanics (no puzzle/game element), vector art aesthetic and serialised release structure — compared with Stamp 4.0 Perspective (2019), Stamp 4.2 Unity (2021), Britto Beautiful Friendship (2022) and Princess Marie (2023).
