Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Definitive Series

Iran · 1960 · 1 R

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran. The design is simple and formal, with the Shah depicted in military attire, set against a solid colored background. The country name appears in both Persian (Farsi) and French script ('IRAN'), with the denomination at the bottom.

Issued during the Pahlavi dynasty, this stamp was part of a long-running definitive series used for everyday postage. This period in Iran was marked by modernization efforts and close ties with the West, preceding the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
