The brochure specifies FSC stamp paper weighing 110 g/m², with gum.

The owned cover

The cover is unaddressed. Its cachet depicts a juvenile falcon against a mountain landscape and bears the inscriptions “Der junge Wanderfalke – Migration früher und heute”, “Gemeinschaftsausgabe Liechtenstein – Gibraltar” and “Amtlicher Ersttagsbrief”.

The pictorial cancellation reads “Ersttag 10. November 2025” and “9490 Vaduz”, surrounding a flying falcon. The official brochure credits Jonathan Pointer with its design and records a size of 32 mm.

The reverse of the cover is blank. This copy contains no information card.
