North Macedonia Coat of Arms

North Macedonia · 1992 · 11 DEN

This stamp features the national coat of arms of North Macedonia, adopted in 1946 and retained after independence. The design is framed by garlands of wheat, tobacco leaves, and poppy fruits, tied by a ribbon with traditional Macedonian embroidery, symbolizing the country's agricultural wealth. In the center is a landscape with a mountain, a river, and a rising sun, representing the natural beauty and bright future of the nation.

Issued on October 8, 1992, this was the first postage stamp released by the newly independent Republic of Macedonia following its secession from Yugoslavia in 1991. It marked the establishment of its own postal system and national identity.
