King Fuad I Imperforate Pair

Name: King Fuad I Imperforate Pair
Brand: Egypt

Egypt · 1926 · 500 Milliemes

This stamp features a portrait of King Fuad I, who reigned as Sultan and later King of Egypt from 1917 to 1936. The design is notable for its formal depiction of the monarch, framed by ornate decorative elements. This particular item is an imperforate pair, meaning it lacks the usual perforations for separation, making it a special printing.

Issued during the period of the Kingdom of Egypt, this stamp reflects the nation's sovereignty under its own monarchy after gaining nominal independence from the United Kingdom in 1922. Imperforate versions were often created as presentation items or proofs and were not intended for general postal use.
