Laos 1952 King Sisavang Vong Definitive Issue

Laos · 1952 · 10c

This definitive stamp features a portrait of King Sisavang Vong, the last king of Luang Phrabang and the first king of a unified Laos. The design is simple and elegant, focusing on the monarch's profile against a solid background, typical of definitive issues of the era.

Issued shortly after the Kingdom of Laos gained semi-independence within the French Union in 1949, this stamp series helped establish a national identity under its long-reigning monarch.
