Libya · 1951 · 1m, 2m, 4m
This definitive series features a portrait of King Idris I, the first and only king of Libya. The stamps were issued shortly after Libya gained independence and established a constitutional monarchy. The design is simple and elegant, focusing on the monarch's profile, a common practice for definitive issues of the era.
Issued in 1951, these stamps mark the beginning of the independent Kingdom of Libya under King Idris I, following the end of Italian colonial rule and the subsequent Allied administration after World War II.
