Lovely set - my main collection is Belgian stamps, and I've been quite impressed with their "railway vignettes" that they started shipping in 1996. Here's some of the ones in my collection:

Zanzibar, 1896, Scott #38. This is Sultan Sayyid Hamad bin Thuwaini Al-Busaidi who was poisoned by his cousin on 25 August 1896. Notably this cousin only ruled for 3 days before the British armed forces ousted him.

Very interesting. I speak Flemish and English natively, and found that I could read the Frisian without any trouble whatsoever!

Mini-sheets from 2022 picturing famous moments of resistance. I ordered these direct from their national postal service, surcharged to support the war effort. Slava Ukraini - Слава Україні!

I hope you don't mind if I cheat a little - this is a lovely Luxembourg stamp from 1996, which was issued in collaboration with Belgium, leading to two countries issuing an identical stamp: Luxembourg Sc #939 & Belgium Sc #2627
