This 1964 Rwandan postage stamp depicts the Université Nationale du Rwanda (National University of Rwanda), an emblem of post-independence education and progress. The design, engraved by Van Noten and printed by Desfossés, Paris, features the main campus building in Butare, rendered in shades of green and violet. Issued with a face value of 12 Francs, it highlights Rwanda’s early commitment to academic growth and modernization during the nation’s formative years. The clean architectural lines symbolize knowledge and national development.
