Description: This vintage Turkish definitive postage stamp features a sharp right-facing profile portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the statesman who established independent Turkey. The design is printed via typography in a single, vivid orange-red color over a clean cream-colored paper background. The side banners contain vertical typography, displaying "TÜRKİYE" on the left and "CUMHURİYETİ" on the right to signify the Republic of Turkey. The bottom area features a dedicated lower panel divided into two parts, positioning the face value "15 KURUŞ" within a solid box on the left and the word "POSTALARI" stretching across the remaining baseline. The entire face of the specimen is heavily struck by a dark black postal ink cancellation that runs across the central portrait area.
