Ras al-Khaima 1965 Airmail, Sheikh Saqr bin Muhammad Al Qasimi

Ras al-Khaima · 1965 · 1 Rupee

This airmail stamp features a portrait of Sheikh Saqr bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, the ruler of Ras al-Khaima from 1948 to 2010. The design is framed with traditional Islamic geometric patterns, and the denomination is shown in both English and Arabic script. The stamp is part of a definitive series issued for airmail purposes.

Issued when Ras al-Khaima was one of the Trucial States under British protection, this stamp predates the formation of the United Arab Emirates in 1971. These issues were primarily created for the philatelic market.
