This striking postage-due set from the République de Côte d’Ivoire features traditional Baoulé gold weights, miniature brass sculptures once used by the Akan peoples to measure gold dust — the region’s ancient currency. Each stamp depicts a different geometric design rendered in green on soft pastel backgrounds, with denominations from 10F to 30F. Issued in the 1960s, the series honors the artistry and symbolism of Ivorian heritage through stylized depictions of these culturally significant artifacts. A fascinating blend of ethnographic art and fiscal postal history, this set is a prized addition for collectors of African traditional art themes or West African philately.
