Arca noe - Safinet Nouh
With a high face value, this stamp features Noah's Ark. Its bivalve shell has an elongated rectangular shape evoking the hull of a ship, which gives it its scientific name and its local name “Safinet Nouh”.
This mollusc lives attached to rocks. Its unique shape makes it a major natural curiosity. By giving it the value of 1 dinar, the Post Office underlines its status as a centerpiece of the national malacological heritage.
