Description
This stamp commemorates the monetary and institutional sovereignty of Tunisia through a female allegorical figure in Byzantine or Carthaginian style, drawn by Bellagha. The woman, wearing a crown decorated with crescent moons and a garment richly embroidered with motifs reminiscent of coins (marked with the number "20"), embodies the protective Republic and the financial stability of the country. The graphics, which combine modernity and historical heritage, underline the continuity of Tunisian civilization, from its ancient roots to the establishment of its modern republican institutions after independence. It is a celebration of economic autonomy and the rigor of an institution guaranteeing national prosperity.
