Greater Kudu with Spiral Horns - 20 lira

This green 20-lire high-denomination stamp highlights one of the most magnificent antelopes found in the bushy thornveld and rocky hills of the territory: the greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros). The vertical design features an expressive head portrait showcasing the male kudu’s spectacular, long spiral horns, set against a backdrop of rolling clouds. The sophisticated frame balances fine linework with regional geometric patterns, incorporating an Arabic value panel at the lower right. This issue combined classical European engraving techniques with a celebrated local wildlife icon to authorize premium postal transactions.
