King Idris I, Definitive Issue

Libya · 1967 · 1m

This definitive stamp features a portrait of King Idris I, the first and only king of Libya. The design is simple and formal, focusing on the monarch's profile, typical for definitive issues of the era which were used for everyday postage.

Issued just two years before the 1969 coup d'état led by Muammar Gaddafi, this stamp represents the final years of the Kingdom of Libya under King Idris I's rule.
