Description
This value of 500 millimes pays tribute to the peasant world, pillar of the country's economic sovereignty. Through bold graphics, El Mekki interweaves the figure of the plowman and his oxen with calligraphic inscriptions, suggesting that working the land is itself a form of poetry and the writing of history. By promoting the act of plowing, the Republic recognizes the nobility of agricultural labor and its vital role in the stability of the nation. This stamp underlines the importance of rural roots in the construction of modern Tunisia, making the peasant the silent but indispensable architect of common prosperity.
