This striking 10 Pfennig Europa CEPT stamp was issued by the Deutsche Bundespost (West Germany) in 1960 to celebrate European unity and cooperation under the CEPT (European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations). Designed by Theo Kurpershoek, it features a symbolic map of Europe formed by a flock of stylized white doves — a powerful emblem of harmony and peace. The olive-green background and minimalist typography embody the postwar optimism of a continent striving toward integration and collaboration.
