EDITORIAL

Dear Customer!

Welcome to the Autumn issue of Stamp Magazine.

The philatelic Service had a busy summer. In July, we participated in NRK's Summer programme and celebrated the world´s oldest paddle steamer Skibladner's 160th anniversary. Both personalised stamps and cancellations were received with enthusiasm.

Our autumn stamp issues start on 1 October as we commemorate the bicentenary of Norges Bank. Sverre Morken is the artist and engraver behind the stamps. One stamp shows an 1818 Speciedaler coin and several versions of Norwegian banknotes. The other stamp shows the Norges Bank head office in Oslo.

On the same day we will also issue two new stamps in our Lighthouse series. Sandvigodden Lighthouse in Aust-Agder and Sklinna Lighthouse in Nord-Trøndelag will both be featured.

This issue marks the end of our popular Lighthouse series for now. Inger Sandved Anfinsen undertook the design for the final issues.

The National Stamp Day will be celebrated in many places on 1 October. Many post offices and philatelic clubs have special cancellations this day. For a full overview, see posten.no/frimerker.

Wishing you a lovely autumn!
