Description
This is a postage stamp from Norway, issued in 1980. It features a detailed illustration of a Rowan tree branch, identified as 'ROGN SORBUS AUCUPARIA', with vibrant autumn leaves in yellow and orange, and clusters of red berries. The denomination of 80 ore is prominently displayed. The stamp has a typical serrated perforated edge, indicating it was part of a larger sheet for postal use.
History
The Rowan tree, also known as the Mountain Ash, holds cultural significance in Norway and across Northern Europe, often associated with protection and good fortune. Stamps depicting native flora and fauna are common in many countries' postal systems, serving to highlight national natural heritage and promote tourism or conservation efforts. This particular stamp was issued during a period when Scandinavian countries continued their tradition of producing aesthetically pleasing and informative stamps.
Facts
Sorbus aucuparia, the scientific name for the Rowan tree, is recognized for its resilience and ability to grow in harsh climates. The vibrant red berries, while attractive, are mildly toxic to humans but are a vital food source for birds during winter. Such stamps are popular among philatelists interested in botanical themes and European postal history.
Value Fact
Stamps from this era and series, especially in good condition, are generally affordable for collectors. The market value is influenced by factors like centering, gum condition, and any rarity of specific print variations. This 80 ore Rowan tree stamp from Norway offers good value as an entry-level piece for thematic collectors or those focusing on Scandinavian postal history.
