Naposta 2005


While searching the web today, I ran across an interesting scan of an unissued United Nations personalized sheet from Naposta 2005. If anyone has any additional information, or if one of these has found its way into private hands, we'd love to hear about it.

While this is not the best scan (it's all I have), the two stamps appear to be the 2005 Vienna United Nations Horse and Rider and the Soccer Player from the International Year of Sport issue. The Berne, Switzerland based graphic designer Roland Hirter was chosen to design these stamps. He had won a 2004 competition for his designs. The set of six stamps (two each for New York, Geneva and Vienna) was issued June 3, 2005. The values of the stamps are each 0.55 euros.
