EUROPA - 70 Years of PostEurop

For seven decades, EUROPA stamps have symbolized the idea of cooperation and cultural exchange between European countries. Every year, the member countries of PostEurop, which includes Liechtenstein, choose a common theme that they interpret in their own individual designs – expressing European diversity in philatelic form. To mark the 70th anniversary of the EUROPA stamps, a special “Happy Birthday” stamp (face value CHF 1.90) is being issued. The modern, colorful design picks up on the anniversary theme and conveys joy of life, diversity, and cohesion – values that have shaped the EUROPA program since 1956 and continue to make it a unifying symbol across borders to this day.
