Here are two very interesting stamps from the period immediately following Moldova's independence from the Soviet Union (1991). The provisional overprinted stamp on the left is a Soviet stamp overprinted with Moldova, as stamps were not yet available immediately after independence. The other stamp was issued the following year and depicts the Capitoline Wolf statue in Chisinau (the capital of Moldova). This statue represents the she-wolf that nursed Romulus and Remus in the founding myth of Rome, symbolizing the Moldovan people's roots in Latin-Roman culture. It reflects the nationalism of the time immediately after independence and the intention to emphasize cultural ties with Romania. #MoldovaStamps To see my other stamps, tap ↓ #226doucan'sStampRoom Thank you for viewing. #OverseasStamps #ForeignStamps #UnusedStamps #UsedStamps #OverseasSouvenirs #MiscellaneousGoods #Seals #PaperGoods #Vintage #Antique #Materials #Art #Stamps #stamp #stamps #deadcountry stamp #Coins #Banknotes #coin #banknote
