Biafra First Anniversary of Independence

Biafra · 1968 · 3d

This stamp commemorates the first anniversary of Biafra's declaration of independence. The design prominently features a map of Biafra with a rising sun, a key symbol from the Biafran flag and coat of arms, representing hope and a new dawn. The denomination is three pence (3d).

Issued during the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970), these stamps were part of the secessionist Republic of Biafra's effort to assert its sovereignty. While used for postage within Biafra, they were not internationally recognized and are primarily of philatelic interest.
