The postage stamp issue Mountain Banat, which will be introduced into circulation on Thursday, June 12th this year, is dedicated to the Mountain Banat Day, established by Law No. 60/2025 to be celebrated annually on June 15th. This date was chosen with historical motivation: on June 15th, 1848, during the Assembly in Lugoj, Eftimie Murgu, a well-known advocate for the rights of Banat Romanians, was elected as the ‘supreme captain of Banat’. This prominent leader of Mountain Banat was born on December 28th, 1805 in the village of Rudăria (today called ‘Eftimie Murgu’), located in the Almăj ‘Land’, an area renowned for its chain of water mills, which make up the largest mill park in Romania and a unique one in Europe. A graduate of the University of Pest, where he earned a doctorate in law, he returned to the country and dedicated himself to the interests of the Banat Romanians, securing for them the right to be represented in the Parliament of Pest. The date June 15th, 1848 stands as a significant historical moment, marking the expression of the Mountain Banat inhabitants’ desire to become a free and independent nation, ultimately aiming for unification within a strong Romanian state.
