This commemorative stamp pair from the Central African Republic honors Barthélemy Boganda (1910–1959), the founding political leader and national hero who played a pivotal role in the country's path toward independence. The designs feature his portrait alongside the national flag, symbolizing unity, liberation, and the formation of the republic. Issued during the early post-colonial period, these stamps reflect the patriotic themes common to newly independent African nations. The contrasting denominations (15F and 25F) create an attractive complementary set valued by collectors of African independence issues and political-history philately.
