The Republic of Cote d'Ivoire in Western Africa became independent of France in 1960. In the English area, it is also called the Republic of Ivory Coast (ivory coast) republic.
Five kinds of fish stamps were issued from this Cote d'Ivoire in 1986. The fish of the Africa specialty is chosen, and it is drawn ecologically, and is one of the favorite stamps.
The fish stamp is issued also in 1996 and 1999.
