Ajman 1964 Definitive Series - Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi

Ajman · 1964 · 1 Rupee

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, the ruler of Ajman from 1928 to 1981. The design is simple and formal, typical of definitive issues of the era, with the country name in both Arabic and English script and the denomination clearly displayed.

Issued in 1964, this was the first postage stamp from Ajman, one of the Trucial States. These states began issuing their own stamps in the early 1960s before the formation of the United Arab Emirates in 1971.
