2026EUROPA - 70th Anniversary of Europa - Set

The Europa philatelic series celebrates seven decades of history, establishing itself as one of the most iconic and beloved issues for collectors worldwide. It all began on September 15, 1956, when six pioneering countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands) launched the first stamps with a common design. That initiative sought to symbolize the reconstruction, peace, and integration of a continent still healing from the wounds of the post-war era.
