This elegant two-stamp issue from Mozambique was released on 1 December 1954 to commemorate the I Exposição Filatélica de Manica e Sofala (First Philatelic Exhibition of Manica and Sofala). Both stamps display the coat of arms of the city of Beira, featuring a red fortress and stylized waves below, symbolizing the coastal city’s heritage. Printed by Casa da Moeda under Portuguese administration, the issue stands as a beautiful early tribute to philately in colonial Mozambique, notable for its crisp typography and contrasting frame colors—blue for 1$50 and brown for 3$50.
