This Iraqi stamp, issued in 1934, features a finely engraved portrait of King Ghazi I (1912–1939), who reigned from 1933 until his untimely death in 1939. The design is printed in deep brown with inscriptions in both English and Arabic, showing “IRAQ” at the top and the denomination “4 Fils” at the bottom. This example carries the vertical black overprint “OFFICIAL / SERVICE”, designating its use for government correspondence. Stamps of this issue are sought after by collectors for their historical value, as they reflect the early Hashemite monarchy in Iraq and the limited official usage of service stamps.
