1973 Israel 25th Anniversary of Independence Souvenir Sheet

This is a philatelic souvenir sheet issued by Israel in 1973 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the nation's independence. Primarily vertical in orientation, the sheet features a tall, slender postage stamp integrated into a decorative margin. The central design displays a stylized Menorah at the top, followed by a lengthy text in Hebrew and English that reproduces portions of the Israeli Declaration of Independence. The bottom of the stamp features a reproduction of the actual signatures of the founding fathers and a wax seal. The stamp's denomination is listed as 1.00 Israeli Lira. The margin to the left contains the text 'ISRAEL - 25 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE' in both English and Hebrew over a silver-gray background. The overall color palette uses a parchment-like tan/orange for the core document imagery, accented by white, black, and red for the price. The stamp has standard perforations on all four sides within the sheet. The item appears to be in Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition, preserved within a protective black-backed plastic mounting strip. The printing is crisp, suggesting high-quality lithographic production typical of Israeli state stamps from the 1970s. No visible creasing, toning, or humidity damage is noted in the image.
