Rodney, that's listed in your new Michel catalogue under 2555A-2570A, March 31 1973. The clue is in the inclusion of Botticelli's Birth of Venus, upper right stamp on the sheet as shown in the image below.

HungaryForStamps: thanks for the great display of Swiss stamps and for putting on the Sc#'s. I'm elated because I'm missing that particular catalogue volume. I'm tempted to start cataloguing my Swiss stamps but on second thought maybe I will wait until winter.
