Singapore 1960 National Day

Singapore · 1960 · 10c, 30c

This set of two stamps commemorates Singapore's first National Day on June 3rd, 1960. The 10c stamp features the national flag, while the 30c stamp displays the state coat of arms. Both designs are set against a backdrop of a map of Singapore, symbolizing the nation's new identity and sovereignty.

Issued one year after Singapore achieved full internal self-government in 1959, these stamps mark a pivotal moment in the nation's journey towards independence, which would be fully realized in 1965.
