On October 4, 2018, the Russian Post within the series “Coats of Arms of Subjects and Cities of the Russian Federation” issued a souvenir sheet dedicated to the Moscow Region.
The coat of arms of Moscow Region was adopted on 15 July 2005. It is a shield, in which St George the Victorious is depicted in silver and an azure (blue) cloak, sitting on a silver galloping horse, striking with a golden spear a golden winged serpent (four-pawed dragon).
On the postage stamp the modern coat of arms of the Moscow region is depicted, on the fields of the postal block there are historical coats of arms 1730, 1781, 1856 and 1992.
So thanks to designer Alexander Moskovtsu, who chose just such a concept, we have the opportunity to make a historical excursion and see the evolution of the coat of arms of the Moscow region. And the number of horses increased from one head to four.
The face value of the souvenir sheet is 120 rubles, the circulation is 45 000 copies, in addition to the release of the souvenir sheet of AO Marka, envelopes of the first day were issued and special cancellation stamps were made for Moscow and Krasnogorsk of the Moscow Region.
