On July 4^th, 2025, the Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau Ltd on behalf of the Royal Gibraltar Post Office introduced a new design for ATM stamps in their vending machines, titled “National Archaeological Discoveries – Post & Go”, which reused the design of the “Europa 2025 – National Archaeological Discoveries” stamp issued two months earlier.

Neanderthal skull on unused and CTO ATM stamps of Gibraltar 2025

ATM vending machines were introduced in Gibraltar in 2015, and these 2025 issues are the first ATM stamps to feature a Paleoanthropology theme.

These stamps were available with six predefined values.

"Local [within Gibraltar] up to 50g"	£0.30
"Surface [to Spain] up to 50g"	£0.60
"UK [airmail] up to 20g"	£0.90
""EU up to 20g"	£1.00
"ROW [Rest Of the World] up to 10g"	£1.15
"Registered [international]"	£4.00
Total	£7.95

These denominations reflect the most commonly used postal rates in Gibraltar as of 2025, allowing customers to easily select the correct postage for domestic, European, and international mail.

For more information about the Neanderthal skull depicted on these stamps, please refer to the Europa 2025 – National Archaeological Discoveries article, which includes details on its discovery, significance, and the historical context of Gibraltar’s prehistoric human remains.
