Iran 1876 10 Shahi, Shah Nasr-ed-Din

Iran · 1876 · 10 Shahi

This stamp features a portrait of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (Nasr-ed-Din Shah), the fourth Shah of Qajar Iran. The design is characteristic of early Persian issues, with the Shah's effigy framed by ornate Persian script and decorative elements. The denomination '10 Shahi' is indicated within the design.

Issued during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah, who ruled from 1848 to 1896, this stamp is from one of the earliest series produced in Persia. His long reign was marked by attempts at modernization and increasing contact with European powers.
