Sometime between June and September 1979
Afghanistan issued this stamp showing doves circling a globe showing
Eurasia and part of Africa.
The map is very poorly drawn. The Arabian peninsula is
omitted, so the Mediterranean Sea appears to blend into the Persian
Gulf and Italy is missing. Malaysia is too fat, the islands of
Indonesia are badly drawn, Borneo has displaced Sumatra and Taiwan and
the Philippines are missing. Although the map of Eurasia appears to be
on a globe, the shape of the map is that of a flat map.
