The Czech Post commemorates the world-famous Czech artist Alfons Mucha on a new postage stamp and sheet. The series of four stamps bears motifs from the iconic ‘Seasons’ cycle and thus symbolically connects Czech art with the admiration Mucha enjoys even in faraway Japan – the host country of the EXPO 2025 World Exhibition.
Two stamps of interest to philatelists and numismatists have been issued by the Czech Post. They commemorate 700 years since the start of the minting of the gold florin and 725 years of the Prague groschen.
The Czech Post has recently issued a new postage stamp with a photograph of the famous Czech photographer František Drtikol. The famous photographer and graphic designer is considered one of the most successful Czech classics of nude photography.
The view of the Kozel (Goat in Czech) forest castle from a nearby hill is the work of artist Ivana Lomová, for whom this is the first postage stamp. For inspiration, the artist went directly to the place where she looked for the best view of the castle and also for interesting details of the castle.
