❄️on the FDC: Aneta Kobryń running with her guide Bartłomiej Puto

On each stamp, the B denomination appears in the top left corner, while on the right side the Polish Paralympic Committee logo is displayed. The lower part contains the inscription: “XIV Paralympic Winter Games Milan–Cortina 2026”. The postmark features a simple, dynamic motif inspired by skier movement.

The issue was created in close cooperation with the Polish Paralympic Committee, the applicant for the stamp. All photographic materials used in the artwork were provided by PKPar.
