Centennial of Egypt's First Commemorative Stamp
Egypt · 2025 ·
This issue commemorates the 100th anniversary of Egypt's first commemorative stamp, which was issued in 1925 for the International Geographical Congress in Cairo. The design likely features a 'stamp-on-stamp' motif, reproducing the original 1925 stamp that depicted the Sphinx and Pyramids.
The original 1925 stamp marked a significant moment in Egyptian philately, celebrating both national heritage and Egypt's role in international scientific discourse following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.
