Tanzania (1991)

Date of issue: February 20th, 1991
Name of issue: Mickey Mouse as an actor
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 0/10

I found this one thanks to a very attentive German stamp dealer that listed it as having a spider. Indeed, there is a spider on the souvenir sheet with the mummy.

The funny thing is that most of the scorpion is on the souvenir sheet itself, the stamp on it's own makes very little sense!

I am unable to find any information on this series, I presume it is a cinderella issue. I found several other stamps of this year that seem to belong to this series. They all have the same template, but the artwork is very variable, which makes me believe they are cinderella.
