1) Thread on postage stamps commemorating the Battle of Lepanto:

#1, Spain, 1938, two souvenir sheets featuring "Don Juan" and the battle.

Scott #'s: B108M, B108N.
Current Value (mint, never hinged): $77.50.
(An imperforate set also exists with a value of $1,000.)
3) During the Spanish Civil War, both sides issued postage stamps. As one might expect, they usually commemorated things dear to the hearts of each. Remembering Lepanto was obviously meant to inspire the Nationalist troops. A few months later, Madrid fell and the war was over.
