1976 Montreal Olympic Games, Set of 4

Kenya · 1976 · 1/-, 1/50, 2/-, 3/- Kenyan Shillings

This set of four stamps from Kenya commemorates the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games. The designs feature various athletic events such as running and boxing, alongside portraits of prominent figures and the Olympic rings emblem. The final stamp depicts the Olympic torch and flags of participating nations.

Issued in 1976, these stamps celebrate Kenya's participation in the XXI Olympiad held in Montreal, Canada. While Kenya, along with many other African nations, boycotted these games due to New Zealand's rugby ties with apartheid South Africa, the stamps were likely prepared prior to the boycott decision, reflecting the initial intent to participate and celebrate the global sporting event.
