New Zealand Coin and Stamp Issue: "Ancient Reptiles of New Zealand."

In 2010, Eklektus Inc produced a coin and stamp issue for New Zealand Post around New Zealand's Cretaceous dinosaurs and other giant reptiles. We were keen to bring an interactive element to the project, and themed the project as the field diary of a time-travelling adventurer, with the stamps forming some of the illustrations. The stamp presentation pack includes a map of his adventures, background information and even a couple of surprises. The coin case is beautifully crafted leather, designed to represent the adventuerer's journal.

Graphic design was created by The Alchemist, the coin cases by Izzat Design, and illustrations and writing by Eric Dorfman.

For information on this project, have a look at the NZ Post website, or email us at info@eklektusinc.com. (Stamps and coins can be purchased at any post office or online)
