Mediterranean Games... again !

I love coincidences like this one : I wrote about the only stamp about the Mediterranean Games I earned for years, to find a new one in the following days, at Marigny stamp market.
It was issued for the 1967 Mediterranean Games in Tunis, inside a five stamp series. It represents the Olympic Stadium of El Menzah, built for this occasion.

The stamp wass designed by Hatem Mekki (like 211 others Tunisian stamps) and engraved by French Roger Fenneteaux. This last intel makes me think that the BEPTOM printed the series.

To go further :
* Tunisian stamps engraved by Fenneteaux (Tunisia-stamps.tn site), those of France (n the excellent Phil-Ouest site) and of the TAAF (on the other excellent Philatélie des TAAF site).
