First Definitive Series: Map of Bangladesh

Bangladesh · 1971 · 10p

This stamp, the first definitive issue of the newly independent nation, features a map of Bangladesh. The map is centrally placed, colored in green, symbolizing the country's lush landscape. The denomination '10p' (ten poisha) is indicated at the bottom, with the country's name in both Bengali and English script.

Issued on December 20, 1971, this was part of the first set of definitive stamps released by Bangladesh just four days after the end of the Liberation War, marking its sovereignty and establishment of a postal system.
