Pakistan Map and Crescent Moon
Pakistan · 1960 · 13 Paisa
This definitive stamp features a map of Pakistan, highlighting both its western and eastern wings at the time. Above the map is a prominent crescent moon and star, a key national and Islamic symbol. The design is simple yet effective, emphasizing national geography and identity.
Issued in 1960, this stamp represents Pakistan before the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, which resulted in East Pakistan becoming the independent nation of Bangladesh. The map is therefore a significant historical snapshot of the country's former geography.
