This 1972 definitive stamp from Turkey features a finely engraved profile portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founding father of the Republic. Issued in a deep magenta shade, it belongs to the long-running Atatürk definitive series that served everyday postal needs throughout the 1960s–70s. The clean typographic layout, denomination panel, and vertical “Türkiye Cumhuriyeti” inscription reflect the modernist design style of the era. A classic and essential issue for collectors of Turkish philately and Atatürk iconography.
