The new stamp was released this month.
The Order of Gagarin is a high-ranking Russian award established to recognize outstanding contributions to the advancement of the Russian and Soviet space program.
was a year of cooperation and also the Czech stamps were mirroring the topic. The main theme was of course the ASTP - EPAS (APOLLO - SOJUZ) mission, which was the first USA - Soviet space randevouz. Other stamps from the series were mostly astronomical themed paintings with an artifical satellite as an additional theme.
There is only one stamp space related in 1976 and it is the stamp commemorating the day of Czech postal stamp. Why there is the satellite, I don’t know. Probably to show the contrast between the original postal service and the new one using communication satellites
I collect coins with a space theme. In my collection there are such sets with coins in envelopes with specially canceled stamps. From the country - AUSTRALIA.
