2025Dove of Peace - First Day Cover

The Dove of Peace stamp is Åland Post’s first embroidered stamp. The stamp is part of the international peace project Dove of peace in which Åland Post has joined forces with more than eleven other postal administrations to issue this unique stamp edition.

The initiators of the stamp project are Philatelie Liechtenstein and Austrian textile manufacturer Hämmerle & Vogel.

“We and our postal network stand for world peace, which we support through the international stamp project Dove of peace. The stamp is a symbol of hope and unity and embodies the shared dream of a better world – one stitch at a time. With the stamp, we spread the message of peace together.”

The common stamp motif is a dove with an olive branch in its beak – a universal symbol of peace. This self-adhesive commemorative stamp is issued simultaneously by all participating postal administrations. Only the country name and denomination distinguish the issues.
