My own photo of a set of GLK postage stamps taken by me

[edit] Origin

These stamps are issued in the public domain by the Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands and are available to collectors around the world. There are no copyright on the design as they are released in the public domain as postage stamps and are used for the payment of mail that is sent to and from the GLK.

(As this is not a recognized nation, these are "cinderellas", not actual postage stamps.)

[edit] Fair use claimed for Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands

If the stamp designs are not public domain, the free image of the stamp should still be considered fair use:

1. it is a low resolution image
2. there is a good faith basis to believe it does not harm the issuer's ability to sell the stamps
3. it is used for informational purposes only
4. it adds significantly to the article
   1. to illustrate one attempt by the issuing micronation to legitimize
   2. to allow the reader to better judge the claim the stamps have philatelic value
