Europa - Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT)

Ireland · 1960 · 3d

This stamp was issued as part of the first coordinated Europa series, celebrating the Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT). The design, created by Finnish artist Pentti Rahikainen, features a stylized wheel composed of 19 spokes, representing the 19 founding member countries of CEPT. The simple yet powerful imagery symbolizes unity and cooperation among European postal services.

Issued in 1960, this stamp marks Ireland's participation in the inaugural Europa CEPT issue, a significant philatelic event promoting European integration and collaboration in the post-war era.
