Nigeria 1961 Definitive Issue - 1/3d Nigerian Produce

Nigeria · 1961 · 1/3d

This definitive stamp features a map of Nigeria overlaid with various agricultural products, including cocoa pods, palm fruit, groundnuts, and cotton. The design highlights the nation's key exports and economic resources at the time of its early independence. The denomination is one shilling and three pence.

Issued shortly after Nigeria gained independence from Britain in 1960, this definitive series was one of the first to be released by the newly sovereign nation, symbolizing its economic self-reliance and national identity.
