This commemorative airmail stamp from the Central African Republic celebrates the IXe Anniversaire de la République (9th Anniversary of the Republic). It features portraits of two key national leaders: President Barthélemy Boganda, the founding father of the Central African Republic, and President Jean-Bédel Bokassa, who succeeded him and was in power at the time of issue.

Designed by Delrieu, the stamp carries a denomination of 130 francs and was issued for airmail (Poste Aérienne). The dual portrait design, set against warm orange and blue tones, symbolizes continuity and national pride. This issue is part of a broader series of commemoratives honoring milestones in the nation’s post-independence history.
