Issued by Rwanda in 1976 to mark the Bicentennial of the United States (1776–1976), this 50-centime commemorative features a historic painting depicting the presentation of British flags captured at Yorktown to the Continental Congress after the decisive victory in the American Revolution. The stamp showcases rich period detail—colonial uniforms, banners, and the dignified interior of the assembly hall—making it an appealing thematic item for collectors of military history, American Revolution, and international Bicentennial issues. Crisp lithographed printing and strong colours highlight Rwanda’s mid-1970s design style.
