Description
Cameroon Scott #326 (1961) – Mint Never Hinged (MNH). This finely engraved 5-franc stamp was issued by the Republic of Cameroon as part of its FIDES (Fonds d’Investissement pour le Développement Économique et Social) series, promoting rural development in northern Cameroon.
The design features a pair of farmers plowing a field with oxen against a backdrop of rolling hills and small villages, symbolizing agricultural progress and community growth. The inscription “NORD CAMEROUN – DÉVELOPPEMENT RURAL” (Northern Cameroon – Rural Development) emphasizes the nation’s post-independence efforts to modernize farming and support local economies.
Printed in rich brown tones with crisp linework, this issue exemplifies mid-century French colonial engraving at its best. It is a striking addition for collectors focusing on African development themes, agriculture, or postcolonial Cameroon.
