Norway 1960 Europa Issue

Norway · 1960 · 45 øre

This stamp was issued as part of the 1960 Europa series, a joint initiative by European postal administrations. The design features a stylized representation of the word 'EUROPA' created from 19 post horns, symbolizing the member countries of the Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT). The stamp's simple yet symbolic design highlights the theme of unity and cooperation in postal services across Europe.

Issued during the Cold War, the Europa series promoted a message of Western European unity and shared cultural heritage through coordinated annual stamp releases.
