Issued by Turkey in 1973, this 100 kuruş commemorative celebrates the 100th anniversary of Darüşşafaka, one of the country’s most historic educational institutions founded in 1873 to support the education of orphaned and underprivileged children. The design features the school’s modern emblem—two stylized figures sheltered within a protective arc and leaf motif—symbolizing knowledge, care, and opportunity. Printed in bold black and green on a clean grey field, the stamp embodies the minimalist Turkish graphic style of the 1970s. A meaningful thematic addition for collectors of education, social welfare, and Turkish commemoratives.
