This is the second miniature sheet to be issued at HELVETIA 2022. It is dedicated to the major anniversary of the seated Helvetia, the legendary stamp first issued in 1862, which was the first to bear the lettering “Helvetia”, and also Switzerland’s first perforated stamp. This latter fact is presented using an elegant effect on the left margin of the miniature sheet. The seated Helvetia herself is looking forwards – into the future. Both respectful of tradition and elegant, it invites the world to visit Lugano.

HELVETIA 2022 is a specialized exhibition under FIP patronage and with FEPA recognition. It is being organized by the Swiss Federation of Philatelic Societies in cooperation with the Philately Society of Lugano. HELVETIA 2022 is also being held under the patronage of the Association Internationale des Journalistes Philatéliques and the Académie Européenne de Philatélie.
