Description
This 30 millime stamp belongs to the Tunisian issue dedicated to the promulgation of the 1959 Constitution, a major event which marks the institutional organization of the young Tunisian Republic. The Constitution establishes the foundations of the modern state after independence and symbolizes the transition to a structured political system, equipped with sovereign institutions and a unified legal framework. The illustration – a character in official attire posed in front of a library – evokes the solemnity of the State, the centrality of law and the importance of institutions in the construction of the new Republic. Through this stamp, Tunisia highlights the founding act which laid the foundations of its contemporary governance and affirms its commitment to the constitutional order.
