This Turkish commemorative stamp, issued in 1968 with a face value of 60 kuruş, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Council of State (Danıştay), established in 1868 during the late Ottoman reforms. The design features a portrait of Mithat Paşa, one of the leading figures of the Tanzimat (Reform Era) and a key founder of the institution. To the right, a scroll marked “1868” symbolizes the founding decree. The soft lilac background gives the composition a dignified tone befitting the state’s centennial commemoration. Printed by Apa Offset Basımevi, Istanbul, this issue reflects Turkey’s admiration for legal modernization and administrative progress.
