Turkey 1925 Revenue Stamps on Document
Turkey · 1925 · 25 KURUŞ
The stamps feature Ottoman Turkish script (likely a Tughra or official text) within an ornate frame, with the denomination clearly visible in both Arabic and Latin script.
Issued shortly after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, these revenue stamps reflect the early administrative practices of the new republic. Their design, including both Arabic and Latin script for the denomination, hints at a transitional period before the full adoption of the Latin alphabet in 1928.
