King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev

Nepal · 1950 · 2 Paisa

This stamp features a left-facing portrait of King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev, the reigning monarch of Nepal at the time. The design is framed by ornate patterns, with the country's name in Devanagari script at the top and the denomination at the bottom. The stamp is part of a definitive series issued during his reign.

Issued during a pivotal period in Nepalese history, this stamp represents the monarchy just before the 1951 revolution which ended the century-long Rana dynasty's rule and restored the King's political power.
