The Europa CEPT postage stamps from Monaco are part of an ongoing series issued by various European countries, celebrating shared themes that promote European unity and culture. CEPT, which stands for Conférence Européenne des Administrations des Postes et des Télécommunications, is an organization that started in 1959 and led to the Europa stamp initiative. Each year, European countries, including Monaco, issue stamps under a common theme that reflects European cultural values and achievements.

Monaco’s Europa CEPT stamps often feature art, history, architecture, or famous figures from European heritage. These stamps are popular among collectors for their unique designs and cultural significance. The themes are designated each year by PostEurop, which currently oversees the Europa stamp program.

Examples of themes over the years include “Peace,” “Discoveries,” “Children’s Books,” “National Music Instruments,” and more recently, “Endangered National Wildlife” and “Stories and Myths.” Monaco’s stamps stand out because of the principality’s rich history, Mediterranean architecture, and famous landmarks, which add a unique perspective to each theme.
