The 1963 stamp day set (though according to Stanley Gibbons it was not actually issued until March 1964). It shows a beetle on the lower and higher values, and the feared desert locust on the middle value.
The 1964 child welfare set has an Edmi gazelle (also known as Cuvier's gazelle, and native to Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia) on the lower and higher values, and the head of a roe deer on the middle value.
A 1964 set issued for the 25th anniversary of the end of the Spanish Civil War. The highest value shows equipment at the port of the main town of Ifni.
The 1966 chid welfare set. The lower two values show a Douglas DC-8 above the main town of Ifni. This narrow-body jet airliner was, according to Wikipedia, the first civilian aircraft to break the sound barrier (in 1961). The top value shows a De Havilland DH 9C biplane: originally DH 9s were used as bombers during WW1; the 9C was a version converted into a four-seater civilian plane after the end of WW1.
Signs of the zodiac on the 1968 child welfare issue: Pisces, Aries and Sagittarius. They complement similar sets from some other Spanish African territories.
The 1968 stamp day issue has a postal theme. Note the hand of the keen StampBear on the highest value. It was the last issue before Spain handed Ifni over to Morocco on 30 June 1969.
