	Postage stamps and postal history of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sweden issued its first postage stamps on 1 July 1855, a set of five values denominated in skilling banco.
		The numeral issue included Sweden's first bi-colored stamp; the 1-riksdaler value was printed in bister and blue, and the center design was the Three Crowns of the royal arms.
		In 1924, the Universal Postal Union celebrated its 50th anniversary and its Congress was held in Stockholm, so Sweden issued two series marking it, the first with a view of the Stockholm skyline, and the second with two designs; a postrider watching an airplane, and a carrier pigeon over a globe.
