History
Mauritania issued three airmail commemoratives at Nouakchott on 16 August 1971 for the 13th World Scout Jamboree in Japan: 35, 40 and 100 francs. Pierrette Lambert designed the set; Delrieu printed it by photogravure, comb perforated 12½, on enamel-coated paper, each stamp 32 × 32 mm. All three values show a Scout beside the fleur-de-lis, a Japanese pagoda and Mount Fuji, and a map of Mauritania, inscribed POSTE AERIENNE, 13e JAMBOREE MONDIAL TOKYO and REPUBLIQUE ISLAMIQUE DE MAURITANIE. An imperforate deluxe sheet of each design is also known.
Imperforate singles of the three values exist.
