A postage stamp, an illustrated cover and a special postmark
were issued on 30 March by the post office administration in Bulgaria on
the occasion of the round anniversary of the national Olympic Committee.
Although at a venerable age, this institution is, nevertheless, 27 years
younger than the Bulgarian Olympic movement. This country is one of the
13 nations that sent their representatives to the first modern Olympic
games held in 1896 in Athens.
Artistic designer of this issue is Maya Buykliiska, who
has chosen a stylized male figure with a torch in his hand for the stamp
representation, executed in the range of blue-yellow colours. Depicted
are also the five Olympic circles.
This postage stamp has a face value of 120 levs and a
circulation of 500 thousand pieces.
