This pair of commemorative Israeli stamps captures two meaningful national themes. The 1979 “International Year of the Child” stamp (0.85 Israeli Lira) depicts a joyful child sliding along a vivid rainbow, symbolizing hope and universal happiness. It celebrates the UN-declared year devoted to children’s rights and welfare. The 1977 “Petah Tiqwa Centenary” issue (1.50 Israeli Lira) honors 100 years of Petah Tiqwa, Israel’s “Mother of Settlements.” Its design shows a minimalist city skyline rising above colorful horizontal stripes, reflecting urban growth and agricultural roots. Both stamps embody Israel’s blend of social progress and artistic modernism of the late 1970s.
