Cambodia Scott #B5 – Used

1957 – 2500th Anniversary of Buddhism (Semi-Postal)
Denomination: 1.50r + 2.50r
Condition: Used

Issued in 1957, this semi-postal commemorative from Cambodia honors the 2500th Anniversary of Buddhism, a major religious and cultural celebration throughout the Buddhist world. The stamp depicts a detailed line engraving of a Buddhist stupa adorned with national flags, symbolizing both national pride and spiritual heritage. At the top appear the Dharmachakra (Wheel of the Law) emblems and inscriptions in Khmer and French.

This example is postally used, with a clear circular cancellation that does not obscure the primary design. Strong color, clean perforations, and solid overall visual appeal make it a desirable piece for collectors of Cambodian philately, Buddhist thematic material, and Southeast Asian postal history.
