The exhibition miniature sheet incorporates three stamps from the ‘2012 New Zealand Native Trees’ stamp issue.

Also featured in the design is the official Indonesia 2012 logo - a letter-carrying pigeon in the batik style. Pigeons are known around the world as a symbol of peace and were historically used as message carriers.
