Issued by Sri Lanka in 2009, this commemorative stamp honors A. P. de Zoysa, a distinguished social reformer, educationist, and promoter of Buddhist scholarship. The sepia-toned portrait design reflects his intellectual legacy and contribution to cultural and religious revival movements in Sri Lanka. Multilingual inscriptions highlight the nation’s linguistic heritage. This issue forms part of Sri Lanka’s tradition of recognizing influential national figures who shaped social progress and education. A meaningful addition for collectors of Asian personalities and Buddhist thematic philately.
