Turkey 1950 Definitive Issue, President İsmet İnönü

Turkey · 1950 · 20 Kuruş

This definitive stamp features a portrait of İsmet İnönü, the second President of Turkey. The design is simple and elegant, focusing on the bust of the statesman facing left, a common style for definitive issues of the era. The denomination '20 Kuruş' is clearly indicated at the bottom.

Issued during İnönü's final year as president, this stamp was part of a series that circulated widely in post-WWII Turkey, a period of multi-party political transition.
