Pakistan Map and Crescent Moon

Pakistan · 1960 · 13 Paisa

This definitive stamp features a map of Pakistan, highlighting both its western and eastern territories (now Bangladesh) at the time. Above the map is a prominent crescent moon and star, a key national and Islamic symbol, set against a solid color background.

Issued in 1960 during the 'Decade of Development' under President Ayub Khan, this stamp reflects a period of national consolidation and modernization in Pakistan, prior to the 1971 war that led to the independence of Bangladesh.
