Insect Stamp of Central AfricaInsect Stamp of Central AfricaCentral African Republic was in a French follower in 19 end of the century, and it was admitted into French Equatorial Africa in 1910 and achieved independence in 1960. A Bokassa military commander raised coup d'etat in 1965 and it took office as Bokassa gore territory in 1966 and strengthened autocracy. It changed name in the name of a country with the Central African Empire in 1976 and introduced myself as the emperor in oneself. President first generation Dacko got French support in 1979 and raised bloodless coup detat and returned to the President and returned it to republican form of government. A military coup broke out in 1981 and entered a military administration bottom again. It transferred in a civil administration in 1986, and election was performed under plural political parties in 1993, and President Patasse was born.
The small landlocked country located in the center in Africa called the Central Africa Republic issued 12 kinds of the triangular stamps which drew the longhorn beetle and the scarab beetle and which has a taste very much in 1962. It has the atmosphere of the stamp of France which is a suzerain, and I like the classical height of intaglio printing.
Four kinds of beetle stamps were issued in 1985.
