Saturday 2nd December was the last day to visit MonacoPhil 2017, which opened its doors on the Terrasses de Fontvieille November 30, in the presence of Prince Abert and Jean Castellini, Minister of Finance and Economy.
Over the three-day philatelic event, the public discovered exceptional items spread across three locations, including the MonacoPhil commemorative stamps, issued by the OETP (Monegasque Office for Stamp Issues).
An exhibition of “100 iconic stamps and documents” was held at the Musée des Timbres et des Monnaies (Stamp and Coin Museum) with items from 100 world famous collections belonging to Prince Albert II and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as well as from 10 postal museums and members of the Club de Monte-Carlo
At Espace Léo Ferré, there was a commercial section with 80 stands operated by postal administrations and well known international stamp dealers.
Monaco Top Cars Collection hosted an exhibition devoted to stamps of North and South America, with an unrivalled variety of international collections. At the same time, an exhibition focusing on Ferrari de La Renotière (Philipp von Ferrary) gave visitors a first glimpse of the many collections once owned by the King of Stamps.
This edition, Monacophil had also a top representation of Thematic exhibits:
– The American Civil War 1861-1865 – Background, Course of Events and Aftermath, from Olason, Anders (Sweden).
– The Conquest of Horizon – Columbus’ voyage from a global perspective, from Francisco Piniella (Spain).
– The on frame exhibit, Damian, the Hero of Molokai from Mark Bottu (Belgium).
Special postmark over the MonacoPhil 2017 commemorative stamp , based in the stamp issued in 1993 by the United States and Monaco to honor Grace Kelly, Princess Grace. The design of the stamp was engraved by Czeslaw Slania of Sweden, the premier stamp engraver, using a publicity photograph from “Country Girl,” the 1954 film for which the future princess won an Academy Award. She died in 1982 in an automobile accident in Monaco.

After the Amphilex 2002 exhibition in Amsterdam two enthusiasticphilatelists – Mihael I. Fock and Igor Pirc –decided to publicise one-frame exhibiting within the Alps Adria region and former Yugoslavia countries. The first one-frame exhibition under the name EnoOkno 2003, EnoOkno meaning OneWindow, was arranged in the Museum of the Gorenjska region in Kranj in October 2003. The reason for choosing the exhibition name was that a one-frame exhibit is a window looking over a story…
The specialised biennial philatelic exhibition with international participation OsmoOkno (»EighthWindow«) Kranj 2017 was therefore already the eighth meeting of one-frame exhibits from ten countries – Austria, BiH Republika Srpska, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia and – for the second time – Israel as a special guest. The event, organised by the Slovenian Philatelic Association under the patronage of the Alps Adria Philately Working Group, with the co-operation of Gorenjskimuzej Kranj and sponsored by the Slovenian Post, took place in the France Prešeren House, part of the Gorenjski museum.
The opening ceremony was attended by the Philatelic Federation representatives from Austria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Israel and Slovenia. Mag. Marjana Žibert,director of the Museum, Karmen Hauc, director of the regional branch Ljubljana of the Slovenian Post and Igor Pirc, representing the Slovenian Philatelic Association and the Organising Committee delivered speeches. Singer Petra Čebulj entertained the public with three songs. Unfortunately, due to illness, the co-organiser Mihael Fock could not attend, so the participants sent him a greetings card of the exhibition (Slovenian Post issued a illustrated postal card OsmoOkno bearing the picture of medieval Kranj by Meridian). In order to allow the attendance of as manyvisitors as possible, the exhibition was open till Saturday, September 17th.
52 exhibits were present, two of which in the honorary class.The rest was subdivided into Traditional philately (5), Postal history (14), Postal stationery (3), Thematics(16), Maximaphily(1), Revenues(1), Youth (2), Picture postcards (8).
The jury team led by Peter Suhadolc, with Veselko Guštin and Igor Pirc as members, followed the FIP regulations for each class. The quality of the participating exhibits of this exhibition was found to be quite high, resulting in 25 gold, 21 vermeil and 4 silver medals.
The Grand prix of the OsmoOkno 2017was unanimously assigned to the exhibit Die PostbeförderungdurchSchiffeder PSNC zwischen Valparaiso und Callao 1842-1854, of the Bavarian Exhibitor Jörg Maier.
During the Palmares the idea of opening the exhibition also to exhibitors from other countries was put forward. In any case, the Deveto OknoKranj 2019 – the ninth biennial one frame exhibition in September 2019 – will be glad to have you there!
