Description: This vintage revenue stamp from Egypt features a highly intricate design printed in a deep monochromatic forest-green ink palette. The central composition is dominated by an ornate circular calligraphic tughra-style Arabic inscription reading "Rasoum Demgha" (Fiscall/Stamp Duties) set against a lighter backdrop filled with microscopic interlocking geometric patterns. A stylized scroll at the top lists the denomination in Arabic text. The lower corners contain square boxes enclosing the Western numeral "1", flanking a central tab reading "1 MILL" representing 1 millieme. The upper corners display matching square tablets featuring the Arabic numeral equivalent for one "١". Elegant vertical arabesque scrollwork panels border the left and right sides of the central medallion layout, and a light corner postmark cancellation touches the lower-left edge.
Circa: 1930s-1950s

Notes:
This specimen is not a postage stamp but a fiscal document tax stamp. It was explicitly issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Finance to be affixed to official receipts, judicial documents, contracts, and passports to verify that the required state revenue tariff had been successfully paid.
