Flag of Greece

Greece · 1977 · 7 Drachma

This definitive stamp features the national flag of Greece, known as the 'sky-blue-white' (Galanolefki). The design consists of nine equal horizontal stripes of blue alternating with white, with a blue canton in the upper hoist-side corner bearing a white cross, symbolizing Greek Orthodoxy.

Issued as part of a definitive series in 1977, this stamp reflects the national identity of Greece following the restoration of democracy in 1974 after the collapse of the military junta.
