Information:
The definitive series depicting Khyber Pass and Shalimar Garden, was twice produced during 1961-1962. But the postal authorities were not satisfied with the shape of Bengali inscription denoting Pakistan. The inscription was redrawn in new style and all paisa values were printed with Pakistan in Bengali accordingly altered. Distinction of the new font is a straight line over all the letters resembling Pakistan which also connects the letters with each other. These stamps remained in use till 1970's.

The Shalimar Gardens, sometimes written as the Shalamar Gardens, is a Persian garden built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in Lahore, modern day Pakistan. The construction began in 1641 and was completed in 1642. The project management was carried out under the superintendence of Khalilullah Khan, a noble of Shah Jahan's court, in cooperation with Ali Mardan Khan and Mulla Alaul Maulk Tuni. The Shalimar Gardens are located near Baghbanpura along the Grand Trunk Road some 5 kilometers northeast of the main Lahore city.

Assigning seniority grodowi appearing in the current Forest Brodnowski is abuse, because the land did not belong to BRÓDNO the city of Warsaw until 1916 and did not assist with the development of the city. Over the centuries the city experienced glorious years, but it became on the verge of total destruction for several times. The basic urban layout of today's Warsaw was formed during the reconstruction of the great devastation after World War II. (source: Wikipedia, read more about Siedem Wiekow Warszawy on Wikipedia)
