Albanian Postage Stamps Anniversary

Albania · 1962 · Various

This set of three stamps commemorates the 50th anniversary of Albania's first postage stamps. Each stamp features a design-within-a-design, showcasing one of the original 1913 issues. The stamps are denominated 5, 8, and 12 Lekë, each with a different color scheme.

Issued in 1962, these stamps celebrate a half-century of Albanian postal independence, which began shortly after the country declared its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1912.
