This 14 Afghanis stamp from Afghanistan’s 1982 Les Reptiles series features the cobra (Naja), shown in a striking defensive pose against a rugged mountain backdrop. Issued by Postes Afghanes, the design captures the snake’s hood pattern and natural habitat with fine detail typical of early-1980s Afghan wildlife issues. Part of a thematic set dedicated to reptilian fauna, it appeals to zoological collectors and those specializing in Middle Eastern natural history philately. Clean impressions and good color definition significantly enhance its desirability.
