Israel 1949 First Anniversary of Israeli Stamps

Israel · 1949 · 20 pruta

This stamp commemorates the first anniversary of the issuance of Israel's first postage stamps, the 'Doar Ivri' series. The design features a stylized representation of the first stamp, which depicted an ancient Hebrew coin, superimposed over a scroll. The tab inscription reads 'First Anniversary of Israel's Stamps' in Hebrew.

Issued one year after the establishment of the State of Israel, this stamp celebrates the nascent nation's philatelic independence and the establishment of its own postal service.
