Issued in 1945, this commemorative stamp celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Bolivian National Anthem (1845–1945). The design features portraits of composer Leopoldo Benedetto Vincenti and lyricist José Ignacio de Sanjinés, alongside musical notation from the anthem itself. The patriotic inscription “Morir antes que esclavos vivir” reflects Bolivia’s national spirit and independence ideals. Printed in green and black typography, the stamp represents classic mid-20th century Bolivian commemorative engraving style. A historically significant issue linking music, nationalism, and cultural identity, it is highly desirable for thematic and South American collections.
