Issued by the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, this beautifully engraved 2 Francs stamp depicts the Perodicticus potto, a small nocturnal primate native to West Africa. The design shows the potto carefully gripping a branch, rendered in earthy brown and reddish tones against a backdrop of stylized blue foliage. Engraved by J. Combet, the stamp highlights the country’s unique wildlife and 1960s-era commitment to natural history themes. It’s a striking piece for collectors interested in African fauna or early Ivorian definitive and zoological issues.
