On September 30th, 2025, three years later than originally planned, the Polish Postal Authority issued the second set of 3 "Dinosaurs" stamps. The first set in this series was released in 2020. Distinguished from the previous release, the stamps depict skeletons and reconstructions of three European Late Jurassic dinosaurs Camptosaurus, Europasaurus and Compsognathus, chosen for their scientific interest and educational value. These genera are represented for their association with Europe’s Late Jurassic faunas and are not claimed to be Polish discoveries.
These stamps are based on illustrations made by Polish artist Andrzej Gosik who painted his sketches with his favorite watercolor technique, in cooperation with Dr. Gerard Gierliński from the Polish Geological Institute – Jurapark.
The First Day Cover (FDC) cachet features the skeletons of all three dinosaurs, while the First Day of Issue postmark depicts a Camptosaurus skull, emphasizing its distinctive anatomical features.
