Europa 1957 - Tree with European Map

Luxembourg · 1957 · 2.50 F, 4 F

This set of two stamps was Luxembourg's contribution to the first Europa issue with a common design. The design features a stylized tree, with its trunk forming the letter 'E' and its branches and leaves creating a map of the six founding member states of the European Coal and Steel Community. The stamps symbolize the growth and unity of the nascent European integration project.

Issued in 1957, these stamps commemorate the signing of the Treaties of Rome, which established the European Economic Community (EEC). This was a pivotal moment in post-war European cooperation and integration.
