Originally issued in 2016 as part of the new “Swiss railway stations” definitive stamps set the two designs, of Lucerne and Brig railway station were re-issued by Swiss Post with an overprint. Because not all of the stamps were sold and the face values have changed, the remaining stamps were simply lying around in stock. Swiss Post gave the “old” stamps a second chance by overprinting them with the current face values.
Many thanks to Hansjürg for sending me this nice Cover with one stamp with the Railway Station in Brig from the 2016 Issue and one from the 2024 overprint-issue. Mailed on the first day of Issue from the City of Brig.
