This striking 25 piastres stamp from Syria depicts a Syrian soldier standing guard beneath the tricolour flag with three prominent red stars—an emblem of the early Syrian Republic period. Issued in the mid-1940s, it commemorates the proclamation of the Syrian Republic and the adoption of its national symbols following the end of the French Mandate. The design, created by P. Koroleff and printed in Beirut, uses bold tricolour and deep blue tones to emphasize patriotism and national identity. Collectors prize this issue for its strong historical context and symbolic imagery.
