Nauru #165-181 - 1978-79 Complete Mint Set of 17

An unusual set showing the stark beauty of Nauru's landscape with seabirds and coastal scenes on the majority of these designs. Seabirds are responsible for the phosphate deposits which are the mainstay of the economy. Nauruans are constantly aware of the ocean's presence. On this island, no one is more than a mile and a half from the sea. In spite of its small size, Nauru has its own fleet of merchant ships and its own airline. Nauru #165-81
