This 17 pesetas commemorative stamp from Spain (España) was issued in 1984 to celebrate the Día del Sello (Stamp Day). The design, marked “Correo Árabe” (Arab Mail), depicts an Arab courier on horseback dressed in traditional attire, symbolizing early postal communication in the Arab world. In the background appears Moorish architecture, evoking Spain’s Andalusian heritage under Arab influence.

Issued by F.N.M.T. (Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre), the stamp highlights Spain’s philatelic recognition of the historic exchange of cultures and postal traditions between Europe and the Arab world.
