This 25m definitive from the Kingdom of Libya features a finely engraved portrait of King Idris I, the nation’s first monarch after independence in 1951. Issued around the mid-1950s, the design is characteristic of early Libyan monarchy issues, with traditional motifs such as palm fronds, wheat, and the royal crown symbolizing prosperity and sovereignty. Printed in a rich reddish-brown shade, the stamp belongs to the first national definitive series and is popular among collectors of Middle Eastern and North African postal history. Postally used examples, like this one, provide genuine period cancellations from Libya’s early statehood era.
