Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Falcons - Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) - Poland 1975 - Michel's Poland 2361 - my hobby
Greetings friends!
Today we are completing the collection of a series of postage stamps called Sokoly, which was presented to us by Poland in 1975.
Frankly, I do not remember that time, I was only two years old and I can tell about life at that time, only by hearsay.
But, definitely, there was a time when people loved to read books, they had a lot of hobbies, philately and ornithology were included.
The postage stamp that completes this series features the beautiful Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus).
It cannot be said. that this bird is very bright and shows off multi-colored plumage, but her color is very noble, this indigo in combination with white is worthy of kings.
This postage stamp was issued in a circulation of 935,000 copies.
Today, such a postage stamp can be purchased in the range of two to fifteen US dollars.
