Issued by the République Rwandaise in 1970, this elegant 20-centime commemorative marks the 25th anniversary of the death of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1945–1970). The design by O. Bonnevalle juxtaposes a portrait of Roosevelt at his desk with the Brassocattleya Olympia Alba orchid, a symbol of peace and dignity. The stamp reflects Rwanda’s participation in international thematic issues honoring world leaders who shaped modern history. Its refined duotone palette of blue and sepia underscores both solemnity and respect—an attractive piece for collectors of presidential or commemorative world issues.
