Republic Day Second Anniversary March 23, 1958. (1958-1)

The 2nd anniversary of Republic Day stamps in Rs.15 denomination will be available for indefinite period and therefore, have no mention of its commemoration.
The stamp is in mauve colour recessed by PSPC showing Coconut Tree, the fruit is shaded in red colour. Because of its definitive identity the design is simple only country name and the name of the tree are engraved on stamp. However, the word \'coconut\' was misspelled as \"cocoanut\". Country name in English is placed at the base and its version in other two languages; Bengali and Urdu, is at the upper corners. Denomination is printed at bottom left.
This stamp was later reprinted on watermark paper.

Second Boy Scout Jamboree, Chittagong December 28, 1958. (1958-4)


To celebrate the second National Jamboree of Pakistan Boy Scouts held at Chittagong (East Pakistan) from December 28, 1958 to January 4,1959, two commemorative postage stamps were brought out on the opening day of the jamboree.
The stamps are not new, in fact those are two previous values overprinted to denote the occasion. The 6p (view from Kaghan Valley, 1954) and 8a taken from Industrial set of 1955.
The overprint was in black reading \"PAKISTAN/BOY SCOUTS\"/ 2nd NATIONAL/ JAMBOREE/ CHITTAGONG/ DEC. 58-JAN.59\". Its vertical measurement differs for its format shape. On lower value (vertical) its size is 23.5mm and on 8a horizontal the overprint is only l5mm. Its breadth on both values is the same; 16.5mm. The overprint was applied by letterpress by PSPC.
On 30-4-1959 the stamps were withdrawn.

The Declaration of Human rights was adopted by the United Nations on December 10,1948. That was in recognition of the inherent dignity and of inalienable rights of all members of the human family.

The date is given on the sides of globe \"10TH./DEC\" at left and \"1948/1958\" at right. The border around the design shows country name on three sides and \"postage\" at bottom with denomination printed twice on its either side. These stamps were withdrawn from counter w.e.f. 31-1-1964.

Allama Mohammed Iqbal, the great philosopher poet of the East, was born at Sialkot in 1877. He received his early education at his hometown and then shifted to Lahore for higher studies. Iqbal went to Europe where he did his Law from England and got Ph.D., from German Munich University, in 1899.
He joined politics after returning home from abroad and reached the highest post of All India Muslim League twice. Iqbal was an eminent philosopher, an educationist and political thinker, who played a notable role in the renaissance of the Muslims of the Indian Subcontinent and was aptly described as the \'Spiritual Father of Pakistan\'.
Remembering Iqbal on his 20th death anniversary, a set of three stamps was issued on April 21, 1958. A common design was adopted on three values; 1½ anna (mustard), 2a (orange brown) and 14a (fisher blue), also black was used for inscriptions on all stamps.
A floral design forms the centre on which \'Pakistan\' is printed in Urdu calligraphy, a verse of Iqbal in Persian, his date of birth and death and country name in three languages.
