Quote: The word NORGE (the Bokmål term for "Norway") is usually inscribed on Norway's stamps, but this has occasionally been changed to NOREG (the Nynorsk term).
Stamps with Nynorsk spelling first appeared in 1951 to celebrate the birth centenary of Arne Garborg, who was a Nynorsk advocate. I must say that it confused the living daylights out of me until I did a little research in a catalogue.
