I suppose you mean 10.5 x 7 cm instead of mm. If not, they are contenders for the title smallest stamp in the world.

When it comes to large stamps no other Australian stamp I’ve seen comes close to the size of these giants. Issued in 2004 (red - series 1) and 2005 (blue - series 2), all 3 measuring 10.5cm across (105mm) and 7cm in height (70mm); obviously were never intended for letters.
Self-Adhesive (Peel and Stick), Series 1 only
Trivia:
One of the world’s smallest stamps was issued by the Columbian Department of Bolivar in 1863. They are in the denominations of 10 centavos and 1 peso. It measures only 8 x 9.5 mm.
Another is South Africa’s 'Bantam' stamp which was issued during the Second World War that measured something around 8 X 20mm. People must have had better eyesight that time to view those tiny little stamps. They are small but indeed mighty stamps!
China issued one such stamp for use on Express letter. Issued in 1905-12 this stamp measures around 210 X 65 mm.
World’s biggest postage stamp currently is Mother of Emirates postage stamp issued by UAE in 2013. It also holds the Guinness World Records for the largest postage stamp. It is 1.36 X 1.77 meters
