Ahmad Shah Qajar, Overprinted 'Postes Persanes 1919'
Iran · 1919 · 1 Chahi
This stamp features a portrait of Ahmad Shah Qajar, the last Shah of the Qajar dynasty. It is an overprint on a previous issue, with 'Postes Persanes 1919' added to revalidate the stamp for postal use. The design is typical of the era, with the monarch's portrait framed by ornate decorative elements.
Issued during a period of significant political turmoil in Persia (Iran), this overprint reflects the instability and changing administrations following World War I and preceding the rise of the Pahlavi dynasty.
