Tonga Round Postal Stamp

Thanks to Gideon from the Israeli Stamp collector’s Forum “collect” for referring me to this stamp, which is the first round stamp I've ever seen. Gideon taught me that there are even stamps that are not made from paper.

The three six pointed stars above the central star symbolize the three main islands - Tongatapu,Vava'u and Ha'apai.
