This Iraqi stamp features a youthful portrait of King Faisal II, the last monarch of Iraq, who reigned from 1939 until his tragic assassination in 1958. The stamp is denominated 6 Fils and is marked with the overprint "On State Service", designating it for official government postal use. Printed in a two-tone design, the frame in red contrasts with the sepia portrait, combining Arabic and English inscriptions. Such official service issues are of particular interest to collectors due to their limited circulation compared to standard postage. This piece not only reflects Iraq’s royal history but also its administrative postal practices during the mid-20th century.
