Independence Day

Israel's Independence Day issue of 1950, marking the second anniversary of statehood. Two values depicting symbols of Israeli independence and national rebirth. Singles without tabs are popular as annual commemoratives in the Independence Day series. Used singles on patriotic first-day covers are particularly sought by postal history collectors.

Tab-attached examples of this popular commemorative are relatively scarce and command strong premiums. The tabs carry Hebrew Independence Day inscriptions. A cornerstone item for the specialist assembling a complete tab collection of early Israel.
