Issued in 1979 under Pope John Paul II, this historic stamp set commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Lateran Treaty, the agreement that resolved the long-standing "Roman Question" and established Vatican City as an independent sovereign state.
The set includes seven mint condition stamps, each dedicated to a different pope or symbolic element of the Vatican since 1929. With vivid portraits and detailed coats of arms, these stamps celebrate both the Church's spiritual leadership and its political independence.
A compelling piece of philatelic history, this collection marks a key moment in modern Vatican diplomacy and is a must have for collectors of religious or state-related stamps.
