Hungary became a CEPT member that year but to late to be able to issue official Europa stamps. Anyway they issued this year two stamps with the "post offices" theme but without the CEPT logo on it that would have made real Europa stamps of them.

Note : Only two countries (Gibraltar, Iceland) used the four CEPT letters instead of the official logo. Most stamps issued in late April or in May.

two stamps (2x 0.80 YTL)


This set is only sold as a 4 stamps block set (2 sets), not just the paire !

Those two stamps are also issued in a booklet of 4 stamps (two of each)


NOTE : the stamps issued by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus aren't recognized on an international level, not by the UPU nor by PostEurop.

But as most Europa stamps collectors collect those stamps anyway, I decided to publish them on my blog, from now on, even if they aren't official stamp issues.
