A distinguished 1978 commemorative set from Vatican City, issued to honor Pope Paul VI on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
The 350L stamp features an expressive sculptural portrait by Pericle Fazzini, while the 400L displays a warm painted likeness by L. Bianchi Barriviera.
Both designs include the papal coat of arms and inscriptions referencing PAULUS VI P.M. ÆTATIS ANNO LXXX.
A beautiful pair for collectors of Papal philately, portraiture, and late-20th-century Vatican issues.
Well-regarded for their artistic depth and historical significance during the final months of Paul VI’s papacy.
