Mini Souvenir Sheet issued in Kiribati on 23 October 1998 to commemorate the International Stamp Exhibition in Milan.
Kiribati is a small island of around 100,000 inhabitants in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, initially part of the Gilbert Islands. It is part of the Commonwealth and became independent from the UK in 1979.
On the Souvenir Sheet, the Kiribati national flag can be seen floating above the Colosseum. The stamp within the Sheet shows a view of the Reuben K Uatioa Stadium. Reuben K Uatioa was one of the first architects of Gilbertese independence.
