This pair of 1000 Franc stamps issued by the Republic of Togo in 1978 highlights two significant events. The first stamp depicts an athlete in the high jump, issued as part of the pre-Olympic series for the 1980 Moscow Summer Games, showcasing the spirit of international sportsmanship. The second stamp commemorates the 25th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation, illustrated with Westminster Abbey, a landmark of British history and royal tradition. Together, these issues reflect Togo’s engagement with both global sporting events and international cultural milestones, making them attractive to collectors of Olympic themes and royal commemoratives alike.
