Iceland 1972 Fischer Spassky gold foil postcard

This commemorative postcard celebrates the 1972 World Chess Championship match between Bobby Fischer (USA) and Boris Spassky (USSR), held in Reykjavík, Iceland. The front features a gold foil embossed map of Iceland, with the text “Heimsmeistaraeinvígi í skák í Reykjavík 1972” (World Chess Championship in Reykjavík 1972), “SPASSKY USSR – FISCHER USA”, and “World Chess Championship Match Reykjavík 1972”. It includes the 15 króna commemorative stamp (chessboard globe design) cancelled with the Reykjavík 25.VII.1972 postmark in the circular “HEIMSMEISTARAEINHVIGI Í SKÁK” cancellation.

The back is blank for address and message, typical of postcards. A visually distinctive item from the event, highlighting Iceland’s hosting of the match.
