A beautiful commemorative pair issued by Iceland in 1974 celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU).
The 20kr stamp features an Icelandic postman sorting and delivering mail—symbolizing the global postal network built over a century.
The 17kr value depicts two young collectors exchanging stamps, reflecting the worldwide philatelic community fostered by improved postal links.
Designed in rich ochre and green tones, both stamps carry the UPU emblem and the Icelandic inscription “ALÞJÓÐAPOSTSAMBANDIÐ UPU 1874–1974”.
A must-have thematic addition for collectors of UPU, postal history, and Iceland modern commemoratives.
