USSR 2456-57 - Venus Probe
Launch of the Venus Space Probe, November 12, 1961 - the left stamp, 6 kopek value, is IMHO one of the finest examples of Soviet space stamps! (April 1961)

Venera was the first man-made object to land on another planet. It also beamed back some (slightly odd-looking) panoramic pictures. The left hand stamp is fabulous, even though the rocket looks absolutely nothing like the Venera launch vehicle! The depiction of Venera on the right hand stamp is a bit more accurate, but not 100% by any means. The Soviets never gave anything away!
