Issued in 1985 as part of the Europa CEPT “Music” theme, this striking 20 pence stamp from Gibraltar features a modernist design by Olympia Reyes, printed by Courvoisier. The composition blends musical notation with a stylized planetary motif, symbolizing harmony and unity transcending borders. The treble and bass clefs evolve into orbiting lines around a planet-like circle, suggesting the universal reach of music. The crown and “E II R” mark denote the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, linking Gibraltar’s identity to its British heritage within Europe’s collective celebration of art and culture.
