Egypt 1926 King Fuad I Definitive

Egypt · 1926 · 5m

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King Fuad I, the first King of modern Egypt. The design is framed by ornate patterns, with the denomination '5m' (5 milliemes) in the lower corners and Arabic script at the top. The stamp is printed in a distinctive carmine-rose color.

Issued in 1926, this stamp was part of a long-running definitive series during the reign of King Fuad I, who ruled from 1922 to 1936, a period when Egypt was establishing its identity as an independent kingdom after British protectorate status ended.
