About Birds of Kyrgyzstan:

On 28 August 2026, the Kyrgyz Express Post postage stamp series "Birds of Kyrgyzstan" has been put into circulation by the Ministry of Digital Development and Innovative Technologies of the Kyrgyz Republic pursuant to Order No. 77 dated 12 August 2026.

From 28 to 30 August 2026, the 10th International Specialized Philatelic Exhibition BIRDPEX 10 was held in the city of La Louvière (Belgium).

As its name suggests, the exhibition is dedicated to one of the most popular themes in philately – birds. The new KEP issue is dedicated to this important event in the world of philately.

The KEP stamp series comprises two miniature sheets dedicated to two bird species of Kyrgyzstan – the Indian Golden Oriole and the Common Kingfisher.

The Indian Golden Oriole (Oriolus kundoo) is a bird species belonging to the oriole family. It is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia, including Kyrgyzstan.

The Indian Golden Oriole (adult birds) differs from the Eurasian golden oriole by the black stripe running through the eye, as well as by several other characteristics.

In Kyrgyzstan, the Indian Golden Oriole mainly inhabits river valleys and floodplains where there are trees and other woody vegetation. 

It avoids high-altitude areas and does not ascend above 2,800 metres above sea level. 

In Kyrgyzstan, the Indian golden oriole prefers to nest in gardens, deciduous forests and nut-bearing forests. Its diet consists of berries and fruits, as well as invertebrates.

The Common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) is a small bird comparable in size to a sparrow or starling. 

The postage stamp of 300 KGS

It has a compact, rounded body, a short tail and a long, pointed bill. Its bright plumage and graceful flight make this bird an object of admiration.

The main habitats of the common kingfisher in Kyrgyzstan are ponds, reservoir shores, slow-flowing rivers and small bodies of water. 

They prefer not to settle in areas exceeding 2,000 metres above sea level. They build their nests in burrows in steep riverbanks. 

Small fish make up the main part of the common kingfisher's diet. 

In addition to fish, kingfishers also feed on dragonfly larvae and insects found near bodies of water.

The Indian golden oriole and the common kingfisher are wonderful representatives of the avian kingdom of Kyrgyzstan. 

Although they are relatively widespread, preserving their populations is the responsibility of all of us, as these birds are not only remarkable creations of nature but also important components of ecosystems that require our protection and care.

The new KEP stamps demonstrate support for the important initiative of holding the specialized philatelic exhibition BIRDPEX 10.

4673) "Custer vs Sitting Bull". Republic of Mongolia: "Enemies in History Coin Series": A 1000 Togrog 2 Oz Silver Proof & Colourised Coin  minted by B.H.Mayer's Kunstprageanstalt GmbH at their facilities in Munich on behalf of Coin Invest Trust (CIT): Date/Year of Coin issue: 30.09.2026:

The Coin Invest Trust (CIT) release titled "Enemies in History: Custer vs. Sitting Bull" was officially issued on 30 September 2026, with availability for collectors beginning from 10 October 2026. (This is the second issue after Caesar vs. Brutus in 2025)

The “Enemies in History” series highlights legendary historical rivals whose conflicts shaped the course of history. 

This issue is dedicated to General George Armstrong Custer and the Lakota chief Sitting Bull. Their names are forever linked to the famous Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876 - one of the most well-known conflicts between the Native peoples of North America and the United States Army. 

While Custer was regarded as an ambitious military leader, Sitting Bull became a symbol of resistance, freedom, and the fight to preserve his people’s culture and way of life.

The Battle of the Little Bighorn, known to the Lakota and other Plains Indians as the “Battle of the Greasy Grass”, and commonly referred to as “Custer's Last Stand”, was an armed engagement between combined forces of the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army.

It took place on June 25–26, 1876, along the Little Bighorn River in the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana Territory. The battle, which resulted in the defeat of U.S. forces, was the most significant action of the Great Sioux War of 1876.

Most battles in the Great Sioux War, including the Battle of the Little Bighorn, were on lands those natives had taken from other tribes since 1851.

The fight was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, who were led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, and had been inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake).

The U.S. 7th Cavalry, a force of 700 men, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer (a brevetted major general during the American Civil War), suffered a major defeat.

Five of the 7th Cavalry's twelve companies were wiped out, and Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, his nephew, and his brother-in-law.

The total U.S. casualty count included 268 dead and 55 severely wounded (6 died later from their wounds), 244  including 4 Crow Indian scouts and at least 2 Arikara Indian scouts. 

Public response to the Great Sioux War varied in the immediate aftermath of the battle. Custer's widow Libbie Custer soon worked to burnish her husband's memory and during the following decades, Custer and his troops came to be considered heroic figures in American history. The battle and Custer's actions in particular have been studied extensively by historians.

By the 1930s Custer's heroic public image began to tarnish after the death of Elizabeth Bacon (Libby) Custer in 1933 at the age of 90 and the publication of “Glory Hunter - The Life of General Custer” by Frederic F. Van de Water, which was the first book to depict Custer in unheroic terms. 

The timing of both instances, combined with the cynicism of an economic depression and historical revisionism, led to a more jaded view of Custer and his defeat on the banks of the Little Bighorn River.

More on the Battle of Little Big Horn - A summary:

While most of the nation was gearing up for its Centennial Celebration in the summer of 1876, the greatest fight of the Indian Wars was taking place alongside a lazy stretch of river known to Native Americans as the "Greasy Grass". 

Remembered today as the Battle of the Little Big Horn, the fight on June 25-26 pitted warriors of the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes led by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull against troopers of the United States Army’s famed 7th Cavalry Regiment serving under Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer – the celebrated “Boy General” of the Civil War. 

The news of the battle was shocking: The regiment was decimated, Custer and several members of his immediate family were killed and the resulting summer-long “Great Sioux War” ultimately saw the tribes of the Northern Great Plains surrender to the harsh reality of the reservation, changing their way of life forever. 

Following the fight – and for many years after – a variety of relics were discovered on the battlefield including bullets, shell casings, belt buckles and even a trooper’s full skeleton that was revealed after a prairie fire wiped the battlefield clean.

This Coin pays a tribute to both the troopers who served their country and the Native Americans who bravely defended their homeland.

The Coins:

The Reverse of the 1000 Togrog Silver Proof and Colourised Coin depicts a High-relief portraits of Custer and Sitting Bull, back-to-back, separated by an arrow symbolising cultural clash, as a symbol of the inevitable clash between two worlds. 

The powerful composition captures the tension and emotional intensity of this important chapter in American history. 

The 7 notches along the rim symbolise the 7th Cavalry Regiment in which Captain Custer served.

The Obverse of the 1000 Togrog Silver Proof and Colourised Coin features Charles Schreyvogel’s artwork The Duel, Tomahawk and Sabre in extraordinary relief. 

The dynamic battle scene with galloping horses, raised weapons, and dramatic movement conveys the raw intensity and chaos of the historic conflicts of the American Wild West.

Symbolism: Seven rim notches representing the 7th Cavalry Regiment under Custer.
