This definitive stamp features the first coat of arms of the Romanian People's Republic, adopted after the abolition of the monarchy. The design includes a tractor, oil derricks, and a rising sun, all framed by wheat sheaves tied with a tricolor ribbon, symbolizing the country's agricultural and industrial future under the new communist regime.

Issued shortly after King Michael I was forced to abdicate in December 1947, this stamp marks the establishment of the Romanian People's Republic and the consolidation of communist power.
