140 Years of Thai Post — Crypto Stamp 2022
140 Years of Thai Post
Crypto Stamp is the first NFT stamp of Thailand Post, issued on 14 August 2022 for the 140th anniversary of the Thai postal service. The issuer calls it the first NFT stamp in ASEAN. The edition pairs a physical sticker stamp (face value 140 baht, valid for postage) with a free NFT, claimed with a scratch-off code until 14 August 2023 and held on the JNFT platform on JFIN Chain. The 50,000 generative NFT designs draw on the work of 18 Thai NFT artists and communities and fall into five rarity levels, the rarest being the 140 Legend pieces.
