Norway 1960 Europa Issue

Norway · 1960 · 45 øre

This stamp was issued as part of the annual Europa series, a joint initiative by European postal administrations. The design features a stylized flower with 19 petals, symbolizing the 19 founding members of the Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT). The simple yet elegant design represents unity and cooperation among European nations.

Issued during the Cold War, the Europa series promoted a message of shared European identity and peaceful collaboration through the postal system. The 1960 issue was the first to feature a common design across all participating countries.
