As usual, the Post of Moldova has put into circulation, on December 10, 2019, a special series composed of two stamps, dedicated to Christmas and the New Year ("La Mulți Ani!"). This series, designed by Valeriu Herța, is present on the very nice FDC below (print run: 300) with First Day cancellation from Chişinău (MD-2012).

These stamps have metallic silver foil which appears as black in the scanned images. You can see a clearer, photographic image here.
