This official First Day Cover from the Repubilika Malagasy was issued on 14 January 1967 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Lions International (1917–1967). The cover features a bold printed cachet with the Lions emblem—two lion heads flanking the central “L” symbol. Affixed is a 30 Francs commemorative stamp, showing the Lions International badge with antelope horns, symbolizing strength and vigilance.

The FDC carries a Premier Jour d'Émission postmark from Tananarive (the capital, now Antananarivo), dated 14 January 1967, with special cancellation marking the golden jubilee of the organization. Issued by Éditions S.O.G.E.I.M., this cover highlights Madagascar’s recognition of the global humanitarian service movement.

For collectors, this piece is significant as it ties Lions International’s worldwide influence with Madagascar’s philatelic history during the 1960s, reflecting international solidarity and service.
