Description
Turkey Scott #1980 (1974) — “RCD Commemorative – Persian Carpet Design” — Mint Never Hinged (MNH)
Issued in 1974 by the Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Postaları (Republic of Turkey Post), this beautifully detailed 150 kuruş commemorative celebrates the Regional Cooperation for Development (RCD)—an alliance formed in 1964 between Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan to promote cultural and economic collaboration.
The stamp features an exquisite Persian carpet motif, symbolizing shared artistic heritage and the intricate bonds between the three member nations. The richly patterned rug design, rendered in deep reds, greens, and gold tones, exemplifies the fine craftsmanship for which the region is renowned.
Printed by Ticaret Matbaacılık T.A.Ş., İzmir, the issue reflects both the aesthetic refinement of traditional Islamic art and the spirit of regional unity and progress characteristic of 1970s diplomacy.
