As it is written on this special postcard, the International Moldovan Philatelic Society (IMPS) promotes world-wide awareness of the history and culture of Moldova throught the medium of philately. On the other hand, it is an evolution of the highly successful project MoldovaStamps, first developed by the President of the society, Niall Murphy, in 2003 and developed continuously since then. MoldovaStamps succeeded in it's objective to be one of the best online single-country philatelic web sites in the world. It has enjoyed the support of people from over 160 countries and has earned a considerable reputation. MoldovaStamps is one of the most popular philatelic web sites in the world.
On the postcard, sent to me by Mihnea Răducu, one of the six honorary members of the society, on the occasion of the Third International Postcrossing Meetup held in Chişinău, on October 13, 2018, appear the society logo and the silhouette of Stephen the Great, probably the most important voivode (or prince) of Moldavia, one of the greatest national heroes for Romanians, either from Romania or Moldova, is venerated as Stephen the Great and Holy after the Romanian Orthodox Church canonized him in 1992.
About the stamp, issued to honor Postcrossing, I wrote here.
