Norway 1950 Post Horn 20 øre Red

Norway · 1950 · 20 øre

This definitive stamp features the classic Norwegian Post Horn design, a motif used continuously since 1872, making it the world's longest-running stamp design. The central post horn is surmounted by the Crown of Norway, with the denomination '20' inside the horn's loop and 'NORGE' inscribed below. This specific version is printed in a distinct red color.

Issued in the post-war reconstruction period, this stamp represents the stability and continuity of the Norwegian postal service. The enduring Post Horn design is a strong symbol of national identity and communication.
