Albania 1962 Postage Stamp Centenary
Albania · 1962 · Various (Lek)
This set of three stamps commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first postage stamps. Each design features a classic stamp from another country: the British Penny Black (1840), the French Ceres issue (1849), and the United States' 5c Franklin stamp (1847). The stamps are rendered in vibrant colors against a solid background, celebrating milestones in philatelic history.
Issued during the People's Socialist Republic of Albania, this set reflects a common practice of producing topical stamps aimed at international collectors to generate foreign currency.
