King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) Definitive Stamp

Thailand · 1905 · 1 Att

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) within an ornate oval frame. The denomination '1 ATT' is displayed at the bottom, with Siamese script inscriptions on the sides and top. The design is characteristic of the early 20th-century engraved issues of Siam.
