Egypt 10 Milliemes, King Fuad I

Egypt · 1926 · 10 Milliemes

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of Fuad I, who reigned as Sultan and later King of Egypt and Sudan. The design is framed by ornate patterns, with the denomination '10 Milliemes' and country name in both Arabic and French script. This series was part of a standard set issued during his reign.

Issued in 1926, this stamp reflects the period after Egypt gained nominal independence from the United Kingdom in 1922, with Fuad I as its first modern king. The dual-language inscription highlights the continued European influence in the country.
