Kruszwica on 5 million stamps of Poczta Polska
Kruszwica is another city whose attractions were on postage stamps. The value of the "Polish cities" with a nominal nominality 0.60 PLN went into circulation on January 27 on the occasion of the 600th anniversary of granting city rights of Kruszwica.
The new stamp was presented on January 27 by Karol Górski, director of the network region in Bydgoszcz and Mikołaj Bogdanowicz, the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivode.
- Through the annual publishing of stamps with the image of Polish cities, we would like to familiarize their history, architecture and characteristic symbols. We devoted the latest stamp to Kruszwica, which not only has a rich history, tourist attractions or unique architectural monuments, but also an active local community - said Karol Górski, director of the network region in Bydgoszcz.
The stamp, printed using a rotogravure technique, is shown a view from a bird's flight on the mouse tower and Lake Gopło. The value was broadcast in a circulation of 5 million pieces. In addition to the stamp, Poczta Polska released the FDC envelope (on the first day of circulation), at which the panorama of Kruszwica was presented. A occasional date stamp is also used at the Kruszwica Post Office 1 (ul. Niepodległości 33).
Mysia tower is a remnant of the castle in Kruszwica built by King Casimir the Great. Initially, he was a stronghold to guard the city in front of the Teutonic Knights. After the collapse of the order, he was the seat of the castellany and eldership in Kruszwica. Later, he was destroyed by the Swedes. Its remnant is a tower that is a tourist attraction with a viewpoint on Lake Gopło - the ninth largest lake in Poland. The name of the tower refers to the legend of the legendary ruler of Poland Popiel.
- I am convinced that the stamp with the image of Kruszwica will be a great souvenir and a significant collector's value in the collection of many philatelists. Thank you for your involvement in this project, which serves to promote our region- emphasized the Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivode, Mikołaj Bogdanowicz.
