Name: Postage Stamp Day, First Day of Issue
Brand: North Macedonia

North Macedonia · 2019 · 15 MKD

This stamp commemorates Postage Stamp Day by featuring a design-within-a-design. It depicts a classic 19th-century stamp, possibly representing the first Macedonian issues, alongside a post horn, a traditional symbol of postal services. The text 'ДЕН НА МАКЕДОНСКАТА ПОШТЕНСКА МАРКА' translates to 'Day of the Macedonian Postage Stamp'.

Issued in 2019, this stamp marks the year the country officially changed its name to the Republic of North Macedonia, resolving a long-standing dispute with Greece. The design itself celebrates the nation's philatelic history and the importance of the postal service.
