This Turkish definitive stamp from 1970 features a finely engraved profile portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic of Turkey. Originally issued as a 10 kuruş value, the stamp bears a prominent red and black “1 Kuruş” surcharge, a fiscal adjustment commonly seen in late-1960s/early-1970s Turkish postal issues. The clean typography and Atatürk’s reproduced signature add authenticity and national symbolism. A popular collectible among Atatürk series specialists, surcharge-variety collectors, and definitive-issue enthusiasts.
