Iran 1930 Airmail Definitives Set

Iran · 1930 · 1 Chahi to 1 Toman

This set of 17 airmail definitive stamps features a dual design: a portrait of Reza Shah Pahlavi in military uniform on the left, and a stylized flying bird (likely an eagle or falcon) soaring over a landscape on the right. The stamps are presented in various colors and denominations, forming a comprehensive series for airmail services.

Issued during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi, these stamps reflect Iran's efforts to modernize its infrastructure, including the establishment and expansion of airmail services. The inclusion of the Shah's portrait underscores his central role in the nation's development during this period.
