Commemoration of Independence (Citadel of Rashaya) - 500 piastre
This commemorative airmail stamp (Avion) celebrates Lebanon's hard-won path to national sovereignty and the triumph of its liberation (Commemoration de l'Independance). The detailed brown engraving depicts the historic Citadel of Rashaya (Citadelle de Rachaya), perched prominently on a rocky hilltop, with a twin-engine propeller aircraft flying overhead through an open sky. This imagery carries a powerful message of historical resilience, patriotic victory, and modern progress, as the fortress served as the prison where Lebanon's national leaders were detained by mandate authorities before being released upon the declaration of independence. Within the framework of the sovereign republic, the issue stands as a monument to national unity and the enduring strength of the Lebanese state.
