The 3 cent stamp features 'The Virgin and Child' by the Italian
painter Zanobi di Jacopo di Piero Machiavelli which is currently owned by
the Dunedin Art Gallery.
The 5 cent stamp features a stained glass
window from the Combined Methodist and Presbyterian Church in Greendale,
Canterbury.
The 10 cent stamp has a graphic design based on the
carol 'I Saw Three Ships Go Sailing By', a popular 17th century
Christmas carol from England. The doves symbolise peace and are not
referred to in the carol.
