PostEurop informs us also that the Dutch Underwater Federation (Nederlandse Onderwatersport Bond) awarded a special diploma to the 2024 Europa stamp from the Czech Rep., selecting it as their favourite.
Regarding the stamp, the NOB said: ”This stamp represents the variety of all the flora and fauna there is in the waters. The similarity between all the creatures visible on the stamp and the ones that exist in the Dutch waters, is big. Besides that, the stamp itself is full of detail of all the different plants, fish, reptiles and invertebrates shown on the stamp.”
