1800s Greek God Hermes 2 Lepta

An extraordinary piece of philatelic and symbolic history, this framed Greek stamp features the winged profile of Hermes—the Greek god of travel, trade, and messengers. Printed in soft sepia tones, this 2 Lepta stamp is from the legendary Hermes Head series, issued in the 1800s and widely celebrated as one of the earliest classical postage stamps ever produced.

What makes this piece even more meaningful? Hermes is the very emblem of The Traveller’s Club—his winged cap and legacy as the messenger of the gods serve as the foundation of our logo and philosophy. Movement with intent, journey as identity, and style rooted in story. Carefully mounted on matte black and framed with precision, this one-of-a-kind collectible blends mythology, history, and brand spirit.
