This classic Israel definitive stamp features a finely engraved portrait of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the father of Modern Hebrew. Issued during the early statehood period, the design highlights strong blue tones and crisp line work, typical of Israel’s iconic portrait series. The 250-pruta denomination indicates higher postal usage, making well-preserved examples especially desirable. Hebrew and Arabic inscriptions frame the portrait, reflecting the multilingual character of early Israeli issues. A meaningful piece for collectors of Israel, linguistics themes, and important cultural figures.
