This classic definitive stamp from Libya features a finely engraved profile portrait of King Idris I, the first monarch of the independent Kingdom of Libya (1951–1969). Issued around 1955, the design includes symbolic olive and palm branches, representing peace and prosperity in the young nation. Printed in a rich violet-purple, it belongs to the early definitive series used widely across the kingdom. The Arabic inscription “المملكة الليبية” (“Kingdom of Libya”) appears prominently above the portrait. A desirable addition for collectors interested in Middle Eastern monarchy issues or early Libyan philately.
