Description
Turkey Scott #2298 (1984) — “50th Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage in Turkey” — Mint Never Hinged (MNH)
Issued in 1984 by the Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Postaları (Republic of Turkey Post), this 20-lira commemorative stamp celebrates the 50th anniversary of granting women the right to vote and stand for election in Turkey—an event first enacted in 1934 under the progressive reforms of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
The design shows three Turkish women casting their ballots in front of a civic building, symbolizing democracy, equality, and civic participation. The image captures the nation’s ongoing commitment to women’s rights and modernization, rendered in soft pastel tones that reflect optimism and progress.
Printed by Basın Ofset, Ankara, the stamp honors half a century of women’s political empowerment and remains a key issue for collectors interested in social reform and international women’s history.
