Greece 1962 Europa Issue

Greece · 1962 · 2.50 & 4.50 drachma

This set of two stamps was issued as part of the annual Europa series, a joint issuance among member countries of the Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT). The common design for 1962, created by Dutch artist Lex Metz, features an allegorical representation of Europe as a chariot with 19 spokes, symbolizing the member nations at the time.

The Europa stamps were created to promote European unity and cooperation in the post-war era. The 1962 issue continued this tradition, with many countries sharing a common design to express solidarity.
