IPS Off. Carte Valori (Officina Governativa Carte Valori)
This stamp features a prominent historic mosque within Sana'a, focusing on the deep-rooted theological identity and religious heritage of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom. The illustration captures the spiritual atmosphere of the urban landscape, depicting local citizens walking near the low domes and sacred architecture that have anchored the Zaydi community for centuries. Enclosed in a vivid purple frame embellished with traditional arabesque flourishes and institutional inscriptions, the design carries a message of religious legitimacy and cultural preservation under the patronage of the imamate. Denominated as 10 "Bogaches," the program successfully mirrors the daily intersection of faith, state administration, and traditional craftsmanship within the historic capital city.
