In 2017 Poland issued a second mini-sheet in its "historic organs" series, this time celebrating the instrument at the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin in Pelplin. This instrument was complete in the late 1600's; the case and some of the facade pipes are from that instrument. The instrument was rebuilt in 2003 by the Mollin firm in Odry (SSW of Gdansk). The artwork for the mini-sheet is interesting: the selvage is the walls of the cathedral and part of the ceiling, as though looking up from the floor. The stamp takes the place of the central portion of the ceiling. A nice "substitution" effect.
