Iran 1972 10th Anniversary of the White Revolution

Iran · 1972 · 10 Rials

This stamp commemorates the 10th anniversary of the White Revolution, a series of reforms initiated by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The design features a portrait of the Shah against a backdrop of a stylized '10' and an industrial gear, symbolizing the modernization and progress intended by the reforms.

The White Revolution was a far-reaching series of reforms in Iran launched in 1963, covering areas like land reform, women's suffrage, and industrial growth. This stamp was issued to celebrate its first decade, just a few years before the 1979 Iranian Revolution that overthrew the monarchy.
