King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, First Definitive Series

Saudi Arabia · 1934 · 1/4g

This stamp features a portrait of King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, the founder and first monarch of Saudi Arabia. The design is framed by an ornate border with Arabic script, and the denomination is shown in both Arabic and Western numerals. This was part of the first definitive series issued by the newly unified Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Issued in 1934, this stamp marks a period of consolidation for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which was officially founded just two years prior in 1932. The series replaced the previous issues of the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd.
