Item Description
The GAMES OF THE SMALL STATES OF EUROPE (GSSE) is a biennial multi-sport event, launched by the Republic of San Marino, organized by and featuring the National Olympic Committees of nine small European countries since 1985. The Games are held at the end of May or beginning of June and feature competition in nine Summer Olympic sports.Iceland played host to the 16th iteration of the Games in 2015, and handily won that year for the first time in 6 years!
Playing a major role in the victory was the Puffin Cachets mascot, who easily won the hurdles competition. This handcolored cachet captures his winning form as he glides over a hurdle painted like the Icelandic flag!
The attractive stamp shows an array of athletic symbols for the 11 competitive sports in the Games. The cover bears two nice strikes of the official pictorial cancel for the issue on April 30, 2015.
The reverse of the cover shows "BLOSSI', the Games' mascot, and is marked as FDC #3 of only 10 sent to Iceland for servicing.
