Stamp set sample

The stamp set designed by artist Cecilie Sørgård is 36 x 22 mm in size and is used for domestic regular mail up to 20 grams and is printed using multi-color offset printing technology at the stamp printing company Joh. Enschedé. In addition to the above stamp set, the Norwegian Post also issues collectors' publications such as first-day-issue envelopes (FDC), large cards (Maxi cards), collector stamp covers and stamp books.

The Norwegian White is the most common breed of sheep in Norway and is a cross between several different breeds. Breeding is managed by the Norwegian Sheep and Goat Farmers Association, which also freezes semen for long-term storage. The breed is prized for its favorable production characteristics and is known for its fertility, rapid growth and good meat quality. The fleece is typically fine and bred to be free of medullary fibres, making it ideal for knitting.

The Norwegian dairy goat has been domesticated since prehistoric times and is the most common breed of goat in Norway. The breed was developed through collaborative efforts with original local breeds and occasionally imported breeds. Dairy goats can vary greatly in appearance. On average, a dairy goat produces 700 liters of milk per year.
