This Iraqi postage stamp, issued in 1932–33, features a finely engraved portrait of King Faisal I, the first King of Iraq (1921–1933). Printed in red, it carries the face value of 8 Fils. The stamp bears a bold “On State Service” overprint, designating it for official government use. The inscription “IRAQ” appears prominently at the top, alongside Arabic script. Stamps from this series are historically significant, marking Iraq’s early monarchical era under Faisal I, who was central to the nation’s modern foundation. Overprinted official issues are scarcer than regular postage, making them desirable to collectors.
