This Israeli stamp from the 1960s features the municipal emblem of Ashqelon, a city with ancient roots on the Mediterranean coast. The central design includes a classical column flanked by six Stars of David, symbolizing both the city's historical legacy and its connection to modern Israel. The stylized waves below reference Ashqelon’s coastal location. The Hebrew word "ישראל" (Israel) appears boldly at the bottom, with the city's name "ASHQELON" printed vertically on the left. Valued at 0.55 Israeli lira, this stamp belongs to a definitive series celebrating city emblems across Israel.
