Zambia – Scott # 325, used

Description

Issued in 1986, Zambia Scott #325 commemorates the 5th Anniversary of the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC), an organization formed to promote regional economic cooperation and reduce dependence on apartheid-era South Africa.

The design combines industrial and developmental imagery, featuring a mine headframe and industrial structures in the background, symbolizing Zambia’s mining-based economy. In the foreground, stylized symbols representing member states appear within a circular motif, emphasizing regional unity and coordinated development. The denomination 45 ngwee is shown at the upper left, with “ZAMBIA” at the lower left.

This issue reflects Zambia’s active role in regional cooperation and economic planning during the 1980s, using postage stamps as a platform to promote political solidarity and shared development goals in southern Africa.

This example is offered used, bearing a visible cancellation consistent with normal postal use. The design remains clear and legible, with wear appropriate to the issue.
