The Polish Post has released the "Polish Cities" series - Bydgoszcz

Bydgoszcz is another theme of the philatelic stamp of the "Polish City" series. The value of 95 groszy went into circulation on November 30.

Poland regained independence on November 11, 1918, but Bydgoszcz returned to the borders of the Commonwealth only by virtue of the Versailles Treaty on January 20, 1920. In the Polish Post Office stamp in the cycle presenting Polish cities, the monument of King Casimir the Great was presented, which in 1346 granted Bydgoszcz city rights and the building of Poczta Polska, which is one of the city's architectural business cards. The nineteenth-century, neo-Gothic building complex was shown from the Brda River.

Under the Kalisz Peace of 1343, Kazimierz Wielki regained Kujawy together with Bydgoszcz, with which the king tied specific plans and in the future it was to become the main stronghold of the northern Kujawy. On April 19, 1346, the Polish ruler granted Bydgoszcz city rights, which was associated with a number of privileges, including the right to conduct fusion trade and the right to beat the coin.

Currently, Bydgoszcz is a significant industrial center (including the Bydgoszcz Technology and Industry Park) and cultural (including the Pomeranian Philharmonic, Opera Nova, Polish Theater). The city is also teeming with sports life (volleyball, athletics, football, slag, basketball, rowing), thanks to modern infrastructure (including the Hall of the Sports and Sports Hall of Łuczniczka, Zawisza stadium, marina, regatt track). Bydgoszcz is also an academic city, there are two universities here: the Music Academy, the Collegium Medicum of the Nicolaus Copernicus University, as well as several large private universities, where about 40,000 people study in total.

In addition to the stamp, Poczta Polska issued an FDC envelope (on the first day of circulation), at which the panorama of Bydgoszcz was presented.
