King Fuad I Definitive

Egypt · 1922 · 5m

This definitive stamp features a portrait of King Fuad I, the first king of modern Egypt, facing left within an ornate oval frame. The denomination '5m' (5 milliemes) is shown in numerals at the bottom corners, with Arabic script indicating the country and value. This was part of the first definitive series issued after Egypt gained nominal independence from the United Kingdom.

Issued in 1922, this stamp marks the establishment of the Kingdom of Egypt and the end of the British protectorate. King Fuad I's reign began a new era of Egyptian self-rule, although British influence remained significant.
