Norway Posthorn, NORGE in Roman Capitals

Norway · 1922 · 50 øre

This definitive stamp features the classic Norwegian Posthorn design, one of the world's longest-running stamp motifs. The central design shows a crowned posthorn with the denomination '50' inside, surrounded by an ornate frame. The country name 'NORGE' is inscribed at the top in Roman capitals.

Issued in 1922, this stamp is part of a long series of Posthorn definitives that began in 1872. This particular version is distinguished by the use of Roman capitals for the country's name and its specific perforation.
