Ahmed Orabi Portrait, Egypt
Egypt · 1952 · 10 milliemes
The stamp features a central portrait of Ahmed Orabi, a prominent Egyptian nationalist, facing slightly left. The country name 'مصر' (Egypt) and the denomination '10 مليمات' (10 milliemes) are inscribed in Arabic below the portrait.
This stamp commemorates Ahmed Orabi, an Egyptian army officer who led the Orabi Revolt against Khedive Tewfik Pasha and British influence in 1881-1882. The issue in 1952 likely coincided with the 70th anniversary of the revolt or a period of renewed nationalism in Egypt.
