Social Solidarity - 7.5 piastre
During the post-independence era, Lebanon issued dedicated semi-postal and commemorative stamps to honor the nation's workforce, support labor movements, and fund social welfare initiatives for working-class families. These issues highlighted the indispensable role of manual laborers and skilled craftsmen in building the country's national infrastructure and economic foundation.
Issued in the mid-1950s, this Lebanese postage stamp (LIBAN / لبنان) features dynamic allegorical figures representing physical labor and national progress. The vignette depicts a silhouetted worker wielding a pickaxe alongside a figure holding aloft a flaming torch, framed by a stylized geometric Greek key (meander) border—symbolizing the dignity of hard work, enlightenment, and continuous development.
