Within a circle we see 2 putti proclaiming the festive event with a laurel-crowned "75". The 1949 Universal Postal Union's 75th anniversary was an important milestone in the development of a worldwide unrestricted postal service. Many different countries have been involved in creating one of the most important global achievements, postal traffic across all borders. The Universal Postal Convention and seven Conventions, including final protocols, annexes and implementing regulations, covered an area of ​​132 million km2 in 1949, with some 2,080 million people under its jurisdiction. This ensured the peoples connecting function of the postal service. We can also recognize symbolic power at a time when the shadows of a torn world of the war years still cast its dividing shadows on the people of that time.
