- This list includes bears that are "official" symbols of state/city or are on official items such as coats of arms and flags. For example, the "Berlin Bear" emblem on many German coats of arms stamps will be on this list.
- I do not own Stanley Gibbons and Michel catalogs, so I cannot verify those numbers are valid. Please make sure to check all numbers before using this list as a reference to buy stamps.
- Stamps may appear on more than one list.
