Nubian Monuments - Sierra Leone


Stamp issued in 1996 by Sierra Leone to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the UNESCO.

The title says "Monument of Nubia at Abu Simbel (Egypt)" but strangely shows the entrance of the temple of Philae as can be seen from the picture below!


Is this a fake? Unfortunately, I do not know anything about this stamp so if you have any information about it, do drop a comment.
