Issued by Greece in 1964, this 4.50 drachma stamp commemorates the 100th anniversary of the unification of the Ionian Islands with Greece (1864–1964). The design depicts a stylized ancient Greek figure—representing Cephalonia—reclining with a spear and accompanied by a hound, symbolizing vigilance and freedom. Rendered in a classical, woodcut-inspired style, the stamp captures both Hellenic artistic heritage and national pride. The inscription “ΚΕΦΑΛΛΗΝΙΑ” (Cephalonia) identifies the island, one of the seven Ionian isles united with Greece after centuries under British rule.
