2nd anniversary of the revolution - 2 buqsha

The September 26 Revolution of 1962 launched a transformative era in North Yemen, overthrowing the Mutawakkilite Kingdom and establishing the Yemen Arab Republic. Celebrating the second anniversary of this historic uprising marked a critical moment for consolidating national sovereignty, honoring the revolutionary movement, and promoting progress and national unity across the country.

Issued in 1964, this commemorative postage stamp marks the 2nd Anniversary of the Yemen Revolution (YEMEN 2nd REVOLUTION ANNIVERSARY / العيد الثاني للثورة اليمنية). The vignette features a flaming torch—symbolizing liberty, enlightenment, and national rebirth—superimposed over a map of the Arabian Peninsula highlighting the territory of the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR).
