July 13, 2018 in honor of the 160th anniversary of the release of the first postage stamp, the Romanian Post issued an original series of 5 stamps.

The series is interesting because it reproduces the image of not only the first postage stamp, but also tells about other stamps that have become the first of its kind.

The historical stamp - the culprit of the celebration - is depicted on the left side of the picture of the postage stamp, a mail coach drawn by four horses is shown on the right. The carriage figure is repeated on all five postage stamps of the series in different colors.

The five face values of this issue are defined as follows:

On the stamp with the face value of lei 1.50 is illustrated the postage stamp of the first issue from 1858, Bull Head (Cap de bour) (with the face value of 27 parale).
