Dear customer!

This year marks 50 years since homosexuality was decriminalised in Norway. On 21 April 1972, Section 213 of the Norwegian Penal Code, which prohibited sexual acts between men, was repealed. To mark this anniversary, and this year’s Queer Culture Year, Norway Post is issuing a rainbow-coloured stamp with the words Love is Love. And the stamp is «queer» too, of course! It was designed by Camilla Kvien Jensen.

NEW STAMPS

A new posthorn stamp will be issued on 17 June. This time, the denomination is NOK 90. The whole posthorn series, in denominations from NOK 10 to NOK 90, has been updated and designed collaboratively by the stamp artists Enzo Finger and Sverre Morken. The posthorn stamp design is the oldest in the world still in use today. It is 150 years this year since the first posthorn stamp was issued, and the anniversary will be celebrated in October with the issue of a commemorative miniature sheet.

Ved utgivelsen av de første posthornfrimerkene i 1872, hadde posthornet, opprinnelig et jakthorn, blitt symbol for Posten i mange land, også i Norge.

Det var den tysk-norske arkitekten Wilhelm von Hanno som utformet frimerkemotivet. Som arkitekt for mange av jernbanens stasjonsbygninger, glemte von Hanno heller ikke togenes betydning for posttjenesten. Hvert hjørne på frimerket ble utstyrt med jernbanens symbol, et hjul med vinger.

Posthornfrimerkene er i dag verdens eldste uavbrutte frimerkeserie.

Flagget har siden blitt brukt i homofestivaler mange steder i verden, og har gradvis overtatt for tidligere symboler i den internasjonale homokampen.

Flagget står i dag for stolthet hos, og solidaritet med, lesbiske, homofile, bifile, transpersoner og andre LHBTIQ-personer.

FOR COLLECTORS Year sets of older stamps

Save 30% on year sets of older stamps The first year set of Norwegian stamps was issued in 1969.

For stamps issued before 1969, there are no official year sets. With this in mind, we have composed our own year sets with stamps. In addition to all the stamps of the year, you will also find information about each individual stamp. The year sets have become very popular, also because all the definitive stamps are placed in the correct year set.

We now offer the year sets 1965-1968 at a discounted price - so take the opportunity!
