Issued by the Republic of Turkey in 1969, this 1 kuruş stamp highlights the nation’s commitment to education reform and literacy. The design features two stylized human figures lifting an open book, symbolizing collective progress through learning. A rising graph in the background emphasizes the role of education in national development. At the bottom left, a flame represents enlightenment and knowledge. Printed by Güzel Sanatlar Matbaası A.Ş., this issue forms part of Turkey’s social progress themes of the late 1960s. A meaningful piece for collectors of educational, social, and thematic stamps.
