This striking definitive series from Turkey features the enduring profile of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic. Issued between 1972 and 1975, each stamp showcases his portrait in clean, modernist line engraving with distinct monochrome backgrounds in a range of bold colors — from deep blue and violet to red and brown. The denominations span from 5 to 500 Kurus, covering a wide range of postal rates. Printed by the Turkish Historical Society Press and Güzel Sanatlar Matbaası, these issues reflect the nation’s reverence for Atatürk and its evolving postal design in the early 1970s.
