Ireland 1922 2d 'Map of Ireland' Definitive

Ireland · 1922 · 2d

This stamp features a map of Ireland, including all 32 counties, and was the first definitive stamp issued by the Irish Free State. The design, created by John Ingram, is simple yet symbolic, representing the newly established state's geographical identity. It is printed in a distinct grey-green color.

Issued in December 1922, this stamp marks a pivotal moment in Irish history, coinciding with the formal establishment of the Irish Free State following the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
