This Israeli definitive stamp, issued in 1960, features the municipal emblem of Lod (Lydda), a city with ancient historical roots. At its center is the iconic Romanesque gate, representing the city's rich architectural heritage, framed by stylized wheat stalks symbolizing agriculture. Below, radiating lines suggest cultivated fields, reinforcing Lod’s agrarian tradition. The inscription "עיריית לוד" (Municipality of Lod) appears above the emblem. Part of the "Municipal Emblems" series, this brown-toned 0.01 Israeli lira stamp was widely used for local mail.
