Hello all, just joined this illustrious forum. I'm from the Netherlands, currently snowbirding in Spain. I restarted my hobby of stampcollecting recently and among the newly purchased stamps I found this one  Can anyone tell me from what country this is? Thanks very much, regards Hans *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

The language on the stamp does not seem to be Bulgarian, Jenny, I have tried translator and currency apps and found no hits. Could you be more specific on how you reached your conclusion? Thanks Jenny, appreciate it, Hans. |

The language is Bulgarian. Your stamp is the lowest value (1 st) of a set of 6 + minisheet issued by the People's Republic of Bulgaria in 1974, celebrating the 1974 World Cup Football Championship. In the SG catalogue it is SG2313. |

Hi Hans, en goedenmiddag! Jenny is correct ( as always ) and this stamp is part of a Bulgarian set issued on the 25th of May, 1974 commemorating the world soccer championships held in West Germany at that time. They are listed in http://stampworld.com , just in case you did not bring your SG catalog! Peter |

"HP #1041;#1098;#1083;#1075;#1072;#1088;#1080;#1103;" would indicate Bulgaria, yes.
[EDIT: unfortunately, I cannot get the cyrillic to show up properly on this board, but it's the characters that look like "HP bbn..."]
"#1087;#1086;#1097;#1072;", no, as it means "mail/post" and appears on stamps from other countries as well.
[EDIT: and this would be the characters that look like "nowa"]
