Guinea 2006 Europa CEPT Stamps

The official theme for the 2006 Europa CEPT issues for member countries was “Integration as seen by young people.” However, many countries, particularly those not directly affiliated with the CEPT postal union (often referred to as “hang-on” issues), released stamps with broader or secondary themes to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the first Europa stamps (1956-2006).

The Guinea 2006 set you mentioned falls under this commemorative category, featuring an extensive array of designs on the souvenir sheets.

• Primary Issue: The main release from Guinea was a series of souvenir sheets (miniature sheets) celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Europa Stamps (1956-2006).
• Designs: These souvenir sheets often contain several stamps and frequently include the themes you mentioned, such as:
  • Flowers/Flora
  • Local Culture/Customs (e.g., traditional costumes, dance)
  • Fauna (e.g., Birds, Butterflies, Elephants)

The Guinea issues in 2006 were quite extensive, featuring multiple souvenir sheets (blocks) and sets of individual stamps.
