Important update – New Royal Guernsey Golden Goat Miniature Sheet Replaces Crypto Stamp issue

We regret to inform you that the much-anticipated release of our crypto stamps will not be going ahead as planned. Despite significant efforts, we have been unable to meet the requirements of the Lending, Credit and Finance (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2022.

Boley Smillie, Chief Executive of Guernsey Post said “Our proposed crypto stamps have been considered to be a virtual asset by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission and that means they would be unlikely to licence Guernsey Post for the sale of this type of product. Unfortunately, this opinion was not consistent with the legal advice that we received on the matter, but we have chosen to launch the Guernsey Goat Stamps in a different way.”

We are excited to announce that our incredible goat designs stamps will be reimagined differently. These designs will be launched as a miniature sheet containing two traditional postage stamps celebrating the Royal Guernsey Golden Goat, alongside a limited-edition product.

We are excited to create something special for release early next year to ensure the fabulous goat designs live on and we look forward to sharing more details soon.

The Artwork

Drawing inspiration from Guernsey’s rich culture, our crypto collectables feature traditional elements such as the iconic Royal Golden Guernsey Goat breed, the iconic Guernsey jumpers they are wearing as well as the recognisable landscapes. While the physical artwork has a more traditional art style, the digital renditions embrace a modern and more abstract art style.

Chris Griffiths, the artist of both the physical stamp-card and NFTs said: “I was intrigued and fascinated by the concept of creating a set of crypto artwork as I knew it would involve learning an entirely new way of approaching stamp design. There were quite a few early meetings which involved understanding the very specific requirements of designing the physical card and to a much greater extent the NFTs.

The two styles of illustration were decided upon so that they would complement each other but also look very different. The physical stamp-card illustrations were hand drawn then digitise whist the NFT illustrations were drawn directly in a vector format and the many different elements such as the hats, glasses, different coloured jumpers etc were then created in dozens of layers that would form the basis of how each NFT could then be made entirely unique. It was very interesting to discover what specific elements would make the NFT designs more desirable to collectors within the crypto space.

It was really nice to be able to have fun creating the original Royal Golden Guernsey Goat characters wearing their Guernsey jumpers for the physical part and then continue that fun with the designs for all of the elements for the NFTs, including things like laser eyes, UFOs, yellow submarines etc. “
