Esperanto Language Anniversary
Bulgaria · 1962 · 13 stotinki
This stamp commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Esperanto language. The design features a large green star, the primary symbol of Esperanto, with the number '75' inside it, signifying the jubilee year. The text 'ESPERANTO' is prominently displayed, along with the years '1887-1962' and the country name 'НР БЪЛГАРИЯ' (People's Republic of Bulgaria).
Issued in 1962, this stamp reflects the internationalist ideals promoted within the Eastern Bloc, where constructed languages like Esperanto were sometimes seen as tools for global proletarian unity. The stamp celebrates the language created by L. L. Zamenhof in 1887.
