King Fuad I Portrait, Pictorial Issue

Egypt · 1926 · 5m

This definitive stamp features a portrait of King Fuad I, who reigned as Sultan and later King of Egypt from 1917 until his death in 1936. The design is a classic portrait style common for definitive issues of the era, framed with ornate decorative elements. The stamp is part of a larger pictorial series issued during his reign.

Issued shortly after Egypt gained nominal independence from the United Kingdom in 1922 and became the Kingdom of Egypt, this stamp series helped establish a new national identity under its first modern monarch.
