Bay of Jounieh - 300 piastre

This semi-postal airmail stamp (Poste Aérienne) features a surtax layout dedicated to supporting charity or medical relief operations, highlighted by a prominent red cross in the upper left corner. The detailed violet engraving depicts a panoramic view of the Bay of Jounieh (La baie de Jounieh), flanked on the right by a classical sculpted standing statue overlooking the coastal waters and terraced hills. This composition carries a powerful message of humanitarian care, national welfare, and civic solidarity. Issued by the Lebanese Republic (LIBAN), the stamp harmonizes landscape appreciation with institutional support for medical or emergency relief across the sovereign nation.
