Ahmed Orabi Commemorative Stamp
Egypt · 1990 · 90 pt
The stamp features a sepia-toned portrait of Ahmed Orabi, an Egyptian nationalist, against a lighter background. The country name 'مصر' (Egypt) and the year '1990' are prominently displayed, along with the denomination '90'.
Ahmed Orabi (1841–1911) was an Egyptian army officer and nationalist who led the Urabi Revolt against Khedive Tewfik Pasha and British influence in 1881–1882. This stamp likely commemorates his legacy as a national hero.
