were received with enthusiasm.

Our autumn stamp issues start on 1 October as we
commemorate the bicentenary of Norges Bank. Sverre Morken
is the artist and engraver behind the stamps. One stamp shows
an 1818 Speciedaler coin and several versions of Norwegian
banknotes. The other stamp shows the Norges Bank head
office in Oslo.

On the same day we will also issue two new stamps in our
Lighthouse series. Sandvigodden Lighthouse in Aust-Agder
and Sklinna Lighthouse in Nord-Trøndelag will both be featured.
This issue marks the end of our popular Lighthouse series for     Norway Post
now. Inger Sandved Anfinsen undertook the design for the          Philatelic Service
final issues.
