Issued in 1999, this commemorative 40 kopiyok stamp from Ukraine marks the 50th anniversary of the Council of Europe. The design features the Council of Europe headquarters in Strasbourg, along with the emblematic "e" formed by twelve golden stars on a blue field, symbolizing unity and cooperation among European nations. The stamp highlights Ukraine’s role as a member state and its commitment to European values of democracy, human rights, and cultural cooperation. A significant issue for both thematic collectors of Europe and political history enthusiasts.
