King Farouk - 17 millieme
This stamp highlights the dramatic geopolitical shifts following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, specifically the establishment of the Egyptian military administration in the Gaza Strip. The central illustration features a portrait of King Farouk I of Egypt wearing a traditional fez, carrying a message of royal sovereignty and dynastic authority extended over new borders. Within the Palestinian context, the addition of the "PALESTINE" overprint in both Arabic and English transforms a standard Egyptian definitive into a poignant historical witness. This program documents a period where Gaza’s institutional identity and postal infrastructure were completely integrated into the Egyptian administrative network, reflecting a temporary political reality that separated the strip's governance and economy from the rest of the former mandate territory.
