150th Anniversary of the First Greek Postage Stamp

Greece · 2011 · €2.50

This souvenir sheet commemorates the 150th anniversary of the first Greek postage stamp. The design features a reproduction of the iconic 1861 'Large Hermes Head' stamp, the first stamp issued by Greece, set against a decorative background with anniversary text.

Issued in 1861, the Large Hermes Head series marked Greece's entry into the postal union and remains a classic and highly collected series in world philately. This 2011 issue pays homage to that significant milestone.
