The 2000 edition of the Stanley Gibbons catalog does not assign a number to the stamps of this "country" but the catalog does list as existing a set of stamps issued in 1980 for the "Olympic Medal Winners, Lake Placid and Moscow".

REDONDA
DEPENDENCY OF ANTIGUA
Appendix

The following stamps were issued in anticipation of commercial and tourist development, philatelic mail being handled by a bureau in Antigua. Since at the present time the island is uninhabited, we do not list or stock these items. It is understood that the stamps are valid for the prepayment of postage in Antigua. Miniature sheets, imperforate stamps, etc., are excluded from this section.

Redonda (1979-91)
Stamp-issuing status: inactive; Population: 0. A steep, guano-covered rock one-half mile square in the eastern Caribbean between Montserrat and Nevis, owned by Antigua. Antiguan stamps overprinted "REDONDA" were introduced in 1979, with purpose-designed issues on a variety of popular topics following later that year. These were postally valid on Antigua, since Redonda has neither postal service nor inhabitants.
