Norway · 1872 · 2 Skilling

This stamp features the iconic Norwegian 'Post Horn' design, a symbol of the country's postal service since its introduction in 1872. The central design element is a crowned post horn containing the denomination '2', surrounded by an ornate circular frame with the country name 'NORGE' at the top and 'SKILLING' at the bottom.

Issued in 1872, this stamp is part of the world's longest-running definitive stamp series. The Post Horn design, created by German architect Wilhelm von Hanno, has been in continuous use with modifications for over 150 years.
