Coat of arms - 15 millimes
This stamp displays the Coat of Arms of the Tunisian Republic, the official symbol of sovereignty and national identity. The shield is divided into three distinct sections: a blue upper part illustrating a Punic galley sailing on the waves, a yellow lower left section carrying a scale, and a red lower right section showing a black lion brandishing a scimitar. Topping the whole, a white circle containing the crescent and the red star recalls the elements of the national flag, while a central ribbon bears the nation's motto: "Freedom, Order, Justice" (Al-Hurriya, Al-Nidham, Al-Adala).
Each iconographic element carries a deep symbolic charge linked to the fundamental values of the State. The Punic galley evokes the millennial maritime heritage of Carthage and the thirst for freedom, while the scales embodies the fairness and impartiality of justice for all citizens. The lion, guarantor of order, symbolizes the strength and vigilance necessary for the stability of the nation. This stamp thus transforms the royal insignia into a support of unity, affirming the adherence of the Tunisian people to the republican principles which link its historical past to the ambitions for progress and law of modern society.
