Circles and ellipses

Many countries have issued circular stamps, often to commemorate sporting events; examples include a golf-ball stamp from the Isle of Man and a French football stamp, and France also produced a stamp in the shape of a rugby ball.  A set of semi-circular stamps was produced by Singapore and a set of elliptical stamps was issued by Sierra Leone.
