Presentation of the National Flag - 5 buqsha

This 5-bogaches definitive stamp proudly highlights the paramount political symbol of state sovereignty: the national flag of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. The central design showcases the distinctive red banner charged with a white crescent-shaped sword—the historic sword of Ali, representing justice and strength—and surrounded by five white stars that symbolize the five pillars of Islam and the five geographic regions of the country. Framed by intricate, classical arabesque patterns and formal state inscriptions, the program carries a strong message of unified national identity, independence, and theological legitimacy under the imamate. By elevating the flag to the main subject of the issue, the kingdom asserted its institutional presence on the international stage while firmly grounding its civic imagery in traditional Islamic heritage and regional history.
