In May 1986, Seychelles in the Western Indian Ocean, issued a four stamp set depicting 'Inter-Island Communications' as part of their commemoration of the AMERIPEX '86 stamp show. Dubbed ''the World's Fair of Stamps", this was the largest philatelic show to be held in America's history with some 150,000 people attending, and over 50 participating countries.
The event took place at the O'Hare Expo Center in Chicago, Illinois between May 22 to June 2, 1986. Dozens of countries across the globe - from the likes of Bhutan, Jamaica, Poland, and Tanzania - issued sets of stamps marking their participation in Ameripex '86.
