Description: This item is an official government service stamp from the Republic of Turkey, showcasing a design built around a large central numeral "10". At the peak of the rectangular frame, the state designation "TURKIYE" is cleanly inscribed within an ornamental panel. Curving seamlessly right below it, an arched banner contains the word "RESMÎ," denoting its strictly mandated use for official state administration. The background behind the numeral consists of crisp, vertical shading lines enclosed within a perfect circle, which is flanked by beautifully symmetric, flowing fronds. Heavily used in active service, this specimen features a prominent, thick black ink handstamp cancellation or pen mark running diagonally across the lower half of the design, with partial cancellation marks also visible on the right edge.
