Comoros Scott #539 – MNH

1957 Maserati Grand Prix / 75th Anniversary of the Automobile
Issued: 1978
Denomination: 150F
Condition: Mint Never Hinged (MNH)

A striking commemorative from the Islamic Federal Republic of the Comoros, issued for the 75th Anniversary of the Automobile. This design showcases the powerful 1957 Maserati Formula One racer—bright red, low-slung, and roaring down the track with its driver leaning into the curve. The artwork captures the drama and speed of late-1950s Grand Prix racing, a golden era of lightweight chassis and high-risk driving.

The stamp features crisp engraving, vivid color, and excellent detail, accompanied by inscriptions noting Italy, 1957, and the commemorative Grand Prix medallion emblem. A superb piece for collectors of motorsports, classic racing cars, and automobiles on stamps.
