About this stamp

On the Stamp

A globe, an envelope and the Lion Capital of Ashoka, on a 2 annas stamp.

75 Years of the Universal Postal Union

The Universal Postal Union was founded at Berne on 9 October 1874, bringing the postal services of the world under one set of rules, and British India joined it in 1876. For the 75th anniversary, on 10 October 1949, India issued four stamps of one design: a globe and an envelope beside the Lion Capital of Ashoka, the new emblem of the Indian state. This is the 2 annas value.
