Description
Issued in 1983, United Arab Emirates Scott #155 is a high-value definitive stamp featuring the national emblem of the UAE, the iconic falcon bearing the shield of the federation. This design was used across multiple denominations during the 1980s and became one of the most recognizable visual symbols of the country’s postal system.
The stamp shows the falcon with wings outspread, holding a circular shield that depicts a dhow sailing on stylized waves, representing the UAE’s maritime history and trade heritage. Beneath the falcon is a ribbon in the national colors of red, green, white, and black. Arabic script identifies the state at the top, while the English name “United Arab Emirates” appears below.
Printed in a warm tan-orange color, the stamp has a strong, official appearance. The 10-dirham denomination placed it among the higher-value stamps of the period, typically used for international or heavier mail.
This example is offered used, with a visible cancellation, intact perforations, and solid color. An essential piece for collectors of UAE definitives and Middle Eastern philately.
