For the first time in Westarctica's history, a dual Westarctican/Molossian stamp was issued to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Friendship and Recognition with the [[Republic of Molossia]]. Although the treaty was actually signed in 2005, the anniversary was initially overlooked, so the stamp was released the following year. These stamps are either branded with the name and denomination of Westarctica (80¢) or with the Molossian Valora. | For the first time in Westarctica's history, a dual Westarctican/Molossian stamp was issued to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Friendship and Recognition with the [[Republic of Molossia]].
