The definitive issue chronicles the continued mid-century survey of the colonial capital's urban infrastructure under the title "La Mosquée de Djibouti la nuit" (The Mosque of Djibouti by Night). This release captures the architectural prominent minaret of the historic Hamoudi Mosque set against a starry night sky. Historically, the stamp serves as part of a wider administrative effort to catalog the permanent civic landmarks, established settlements, and cultural structures defining the urban core of Djibouti City.
