Description
This stamp highlights the coat of arms of the Tunisian Republic, a powerful symbol of sovereignty and post-independence national identity. The central illustration revolves around a divided shield presenting the three pillars of the nation: the Carthaginian ship, which evokes freedom and the thousand-year-old maritime heritage of Tunisia, the black lion brandishing a saber for order, and the scales representing justice. This triptych is framed by ears of wheat and an olive branch, highlighting the vital importance of agriculture and peace in the country's heritage and economy. Crowned by the crescent and the star, emblems of belonging to the Arab-Muslim world, the whole delivers a message of institutional stability and unity, carried by the motto “Liberty, Order, Justice” inscribed on the lower ribbon, thus anchoring the subject in a desire to celebrate a modern nation proud of its Mediterranean roots.
