Israel 10th Anniversary Exhibition First Day Cover

Israel · 1958 · 1000 pr

This First Day Cover commemorates the 10th anniversary of the State of Israel with a special postmark from the 'Exposition du X Anniversaire' (10th Anniversary Exhibition) in Jerusalem. The affixed stamp features a stylized ancient Menorah, a powerful symbol of Judaism and the Israeli state, against a dark background. The cover is unaddressed, which is often preferred by collectors.

Issued in 1958, this FDC celebrates Israel's first decade of statehood, a period of significant nation-building, immigration, and development following its declaration of independence in 1948.
