TopicJessenius, Jan - Visegrad Group - Joint issues with Polish Post
Occasion450th birth anniversary
DescriptionEngraved portrait after a painting made by Lukas Kiliana in 1618. The attached label shows the title page of his work Anatomia Pragae, released in 1601.
Joint issue of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. These four countries together formed 25 years ago the Visegrad Group. Perhaps this jubilee was (also) the reason for this joint issue, but the postal administrations of the four countries don't mention it as such.
