Item Description

This stamp is from Hungary, as indicated by the text "MAGYAR POSTA" (Hungarian Post) at the top. It was issued in 1973, as noted by the text "TAMPERE • 1973" at the bottom. The stamp has a denomination of 80 fillér (abbreviated as "80 f"), which was a subunit of the Hungarian forint, the currency of Hungary.
The stamp commemorates an event related to Tampere, a city in Finland, in 1973. Specifically, it is likely celebrating the 1973 European Rowing Championships, which were held in Tampere that year. The image on the stamp depicts a rower in action, which aligns with the theme of rowing. The design also includes a small emblem in the background that resembles the logo of the International Rowing Federation (FISA), further supporting the connection to a rowing event.
The stamp was designed by an artist named Vértel József, as indicated by the text "VÉRTEL JÓZSEF" on the right side. The triangular shape and vibrant colors—purple, pink, and blue—give it a distinctive and modern look for the time. The cancellation mark suggests that this stamp has been used, which is common for stamps collected from that era.
This stamp is part of a tradition where countries issue postage stamps to commemorate international sporting events, often highlighting their participation or connection to the event. In this case, Hungary likely issued this stamp to celebrate its athletes competing in the European Rowing Championships in Tampere.
