A 7c stamp was issued on 16th October, 1972, to mark the
Tenth International Congress of Accountants which was opened in Sydney on that
date.
The stamp design shows a grouping of numerals and portions
of an abacus and a computer circuit representing the advances made in
accountancy techniques. Main background colours in the stamp are blue and
green-blue. Other colours used in the stamp are orange and black.
The 7c Tenth International Congress of Accountants stamp was
designed by Mr. Gordon Andrews of Sydney and was printed by multicolour
photogravure in sheets of 100 stamps on paper incorporating luminescence at the
Note Printing Branch of the Reserve Bank of Australia, Melbourne.
Mr. Andrews also designed two official first day covers for
this stamp issue using themes from his stamp design. One cover showed the
abacus with a background of computer circuitry and the other first day cover
design presents a pattern of numerals.
A special postmarker was provided from 16th to 21st October,
1972, at a temporary post office at the venue of the Tenth International
Congress of Accountants.
