Brussels Expo 1958

Philatelic Website

The 2 stamps of Russia were issued a couple of days before the official opening, at 14 April 1958. The design is from J.J. Abramov and A.T. Polyansky and have been printed by the State Printing works at Moscow.

Both stamps have the same design but have 2 different values: 10-K and 40-K. The design depicts the Russian Pavilloion at the Exhibition, with the red flag of Russia flying from the upper corner of the stamp. Inscribed in three lines below the stamp, in Russian and French.

The stamps were printed in full sheets of 50 stamps each.

Two and half million stamps of each value were printed.  

 

Both stamps were printed in perforated as imperforated state (no more information about which quantities)
