Soviet Union 1980 Goznak Sport Test Stamps
Soviet Union · 1980 · 10k, 15k, 20k, 50k (kopecks)
This set of four stamps features dynamic illustrations of Olympic sports: running, discus throwing, gymnastics, and cycling. Each stamp prominently displays its denomination, the year 1980, and 'ПОЧТА СССР' (USSR Post).
These stamps are test and demonstration versions produced by the Goznak factory, likely in preparation for the official stamp issues commemorating the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow. They represent a unique insight into the design and production process of Soviet philately for a major international event.
