The Dufourspitze, located in the Valais Alps, is, at a height of 4,634 metres above sea level, the highest summit in all of Switzerland and German-speaking Europe. When the mountain was climbed for the first time in 1855, it was still called Gornergrathorn. It was later renamed in honour of the Swiss general Guillaume-Henri Dufour, famous for being the publisher of the first series of maps covering Switzerland and for co-founding the International Committee of the Red Cross. The first time it was climbed also marked the beginning of the “golden age of alpinism”. Mountain climbing became a goal in itself: from this point onwards, people would climb for the challenge of it and the love of the mountains – not to carry out research or to survey the area.
With the Swiss Crypto Stamp, Swiss Post is bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds in philately, too. While it is a physical stamp worth 8.90 francs, every crypto stamp also has a related digital image. This digital image shows one of 13 possible designs and can be collected, exchanged and traded online. The Swiss Crypto Stamp has a run of 175,000. Some are more common, while others are much rarer and more coveted.
