Albania 15th Anniversary of the Border Army

Albania · 1960 · 8 Leke, 12 Leke

This two-stamp set commemorates the 15th anniversary of the establishment of Albania's border army. The 8 Leke stamp depicts a border guard with binoculars observing the mountainous terrain, while the 12 Leke stamp shows a soldier on patrol with a dog, symbolizing vigilance and security at the nation's frontiers.

Issued during the communist era under Enver Hoxha, this set glorifies the military's role in protecting the sovereignty and ideological purity of the isolated People's Socialist Republic of Albania.
