King Hussein of Jordan, Definitive Issue

Jordan · 1953 · 10 Fils

This definitive stamp features a portrait of King Hussein of Jordan, facing left. The design is framed with ornate patterns, and the country name appears in both Arabic and English script at the top, with the denomination at the bottom.

Issued in 1953, this stamp marks the beginning of King Hussein's long reign, which started after his father, King Talal, abdicated due to illness. This was one of the first definitive series to feature the young monarch.
