Description
This stamp celebrates the four decades of the proclamation of the Tunisian Republic (July 25, 1957). The visual highlights a golden and monumental number “40”, topped with the coat of arms of the Tunisian Republic (the lion, the galley and the scales).

Gold symbolizes the durability and value of republican institutions. The coat of arms recalls the pillars of the State: Order, Liberty, Justice. This stamp marks the historic transition from the Husseinite monarchy to a republican regime, pillar of political modernity in contemporary Tunisia.
