Iran · 1921 · 1 Chahi

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Ahmad Shah Qajar, the last Shah of the Qajar dynasty, facing left within an ornate oval frame. The design is simple and functional, with the country name in Persian script at the top and the denomination at the bottom. This series was one of the last issued under his reign before the rise of the Pahlavi dynasty.

Issued during a period of significant political transition in Persia (Iran), this stamp represents the final years of the Qajar dynasty before Reza Shah Pahlavi's coup d'état and the establishment of a new ruling family.
