Egypt Royal Imperforate Issues, King Fuad I and King Farouk

Egypt · 1926 · Various

This collection features imperforate examples of definitive stamps issued for King Fuad I and his successor, King Farouk. The designs are classic portraits of the monarchs, framed by ornate Egyptian-revival motifs. These stamps were printed by Harrison & Sons using the photogravure method.

These stamps represent the final period of the Egyptian monarchy under the Muhammad Ali dynasty, which ended with the Egyptian revolution of 1952. Imperforate versions were typically not issued for postal use and are highly sought after by collectors.
