Legends meet Crypto stamp – Horses and Heroes of Mythology — Four-Country Joint Issue

Legends meet Crypto stamp – Horses and Heroes of Mythology (September 2026)

The 2026 joint edition is the direct successor of the 2025 Mythologie set. Four postal services issued five stamps on the same day, 24 September 2026. Austria again contributes two motifs — Perseus, the hero who slew Medusa, and Eos, goddess of dawn — while PostNL shows Demeter (agriculture and harvest), Bpost Heracles with the horse Areion, and CTT Portugal Hades with his black horses. New this year: every figure is accompanied by a horse, hence the series title Horses and Heroes of Mythology.

The set shrinks from five to four partners: POST Luxembourg, which issued Artemis in 2025, is not part of the 2026 edition. The Austrian price rises from EUR 9.90 (Zeus, Hera) to EUR 11.35.

Curator note: released 24 September 2026. No issuer has named the designer. The token metadata of the two Austrian stamps names them "Crypto stamp Edition 5.4"; the edition pages still use the motif as the label. The contract addresses of Perseus/Eos, Demeter and Heracles come from the crypto.post.at dApp bundle; the Hades contract is not yet recorded here. Colour distribution is published only by PostNL; Bpost confirms five colours (black most common, red rarest) and CTT five random rarity levels.
