Turkey 1920 Anatolian Government Parliament Building

Turkey · 1920 · 10 Para

This definitive stamp features an engraved depiction of the first Grand National Assembly (Parliament) building in Ankara. The design is framed by ornate patterns, with the denomination at the bottom and Ottoman Turkish script at the top. This issue marked a significant shift, representing the new nationalist government based in Anatolia.

Issued by the Anatolian Government during the Turkish War of Independence, these stamps replaced those of the defeated Ottoman Empire and asserted the authority of the new nationalist movement led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
