First Anniversary of the November 17 Revolution - 3 piastre

This stamp commemorates the first anniversary of the November 17, 1958 military coup led by General Ibrahim Abboud, which established Sudan's first period of military governance. The central design features a soldier in a mid-century helmet shaking hands with a traditional Sudanese farmer holding a agricultural stick, set against a background map tracing the branches of the Nile River. This imagery carries a powerful message of unity and partnership between the armed forces and the working peasantry, framing the military intervention as a stabilizing national institution that secured the country's economic life, symbolized by the small cotton branch in the lower corner.
