Since the early 1950s, NATO Allies have issued postage stamps to commemorate key events in the history of the Alliance, including anniversaries, the accessions of member countries and the inauguration of new NATO Headquarters.

NATO’s first stamps were issued by Portugal and the United States in 1952, to celebrate the third anniversary of NATO’s founding. More recently, Allies have created special stamps to welcome Finland and Sweden as new NATO member countries, and to celebrate the Alliance’s 75th anniversary.

Here is a selection of NATO postage stamps covering more than seven decades of peace and security.
