Iran – Scott # 2566, used

Description

Issued in the late 1990s, Iran Scott #2566 is a floral commemorative stamp from the Islamic Republic of Iran, reflecting the continued use of natural imagery in Iranian stamp design following the 1979 Revolution. Floral subjects have long held cultural significance in Persian art and symbolism, representing beauty, renewal, and the natural world.

The design features a cluster of red poppy blossoms, rendered in a soft, painterly style with fine color gradation and visible botanical detail. The vivid red petals stand out against green foliage and a light background, creating a balanced and visually appealing composition. Persian script appears at the top, with bilingual inscriptions below identifying the issuing country as the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Printed in full color and denominated 1000 rials, this stamp reflects the higher face values common to Iranian issues of this period, corresponding to inflation and updated postal rates. The clean layout and realistic floral illustration typify modern Iranian commemoratives emphasizing culture and nature rather than political portraiture.

This example is offered used, bearing light postal cancellation consistent with genuine circulation. The stamp retains strong color, clear detail, and intact perforations with normal wear appropriate to use.
