I am working on my collection of Iceland stamps and think this would be a great topic for us to share our knowledge with the new stamp members.

The Scott Catalog does not show a picture of the many issues of the Europa issues. It has the year and scott numbers next to Common Design Type. They have a list of the counties and the scott # in the front of the catalog.

I wish they would have more pictures of these stamps in the Iceland section. Plus I am thinking of making pages of these stamps. Do any of our members have a collection started of these Europa issues?

I am a used World wide stamper. Always have been and always will bee.

The Stanley Gibbons Scandinavia catalogue gives pictures - and I think 2nd-hand copies or old editions will be available quite cheap on Amazon or eBay.

I have all the Iceland Europa stamps and companion FDCs up to certain years. Plus, I have a number of Europa themed stamps from many European countries.

This is a good Wikipedia page that lists all of the Europa themes and common-design descriptions/themes over the years: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_postage_stamp

Europa is same stamps design ( or later theme ) used by European countries who participate to the program, it’s not like the Euro money, the design ( or theme ) is the same but the nominal value is proper to each country. Like as example in 2001 they make stamps around water resource, water nature…
