Libya 1970 Postage Stamp Day

Libya · 1970 · 10m

This stamp commemorates Postage Stamp Day in 1970. The design features a stamp-on-stamp motif, showcasing an earlier Libyan issue, likely the 1952 1m stamp depicting King Idris I, alongside the new 10 milliemes denomination. The text in Arabic script celebrates the occasion.

Issued under the Libyan Arab Republic, this stamp reflects a period of national identity building following the 1969 coup led by Muammar Gaddafi, which overthrew the monarchy of King Idris I.
