Tunisia 1956 Independence Issue

Tunisia · 1956 · 15f, 25f, 30f

This set of three stamps commemorates the independence of Tunisia from France, proclaimed on March 20, 1956. The designs feature symbolic imagery: a map of Tunisia with a broken chain, the national flag waving over the country, and a hand raising the flag. These stamps celebrate the nation's newfound sovereignty and national identity.

Issued shortly after Tunisia gained its independence from French rule, this set marks a pivotal moment in the country's history, celebrating the end of the protectorate established in 1881 and the beginning of self-governance under the leadership of Habib Bourguiba.
