Pakistan 1948 Definitive - Scales of Justice

Pakistan · 1948 · 1a

This definitive stamp features a central design of the Scales of Justice, symbolizing law and fairness. The denomination '1a' (one anna) is shown in the top corners, with 'PAKISTAN' inscribed at the top and 'POSTAGE' at the bottom. The design is rendered in a single color, typical for definitive issues of this period.

Issued as part of Pakistan's second definitive series in 1948, following the country's independence in 1947. This series replaced the initial overprinted British India stamps and established a new national philatelic identity.
