Four postage stamps for the author of “The Lord of the Rings”

Swiss Post is paying tribute to the artistic legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien with four postage stamps. The stamps will be available for purchase from 2 September – the 50th anniversary of the death of the British fantasy author – in all branches or online in the Postshop. More new stamps will be available from 7 September. The latest stamp issue is packed with Swissness. The highlights include four stamps dedicated to the 175th anniversary of the Swiss Federal Constitution, a well-known Swiss postcard design in postage stamp format and a stamp with a real hook and loop fastener – a Swiss invention.
