This Iraqi official service stamp, denominated at 3 Fils, features a detailed portrait of King Faisal II in military attire. The stamp is overprinted with the bold inscription "ON STATE SERVICE" in black, designating it for official government use rather than postal circulation. Issued during the monarchy period of Iraq in the early 1950s, such overprinted service issues are of particular interest to collectors due to their restricted usage and limited availability. The deep green color provides a striking frame for the young king’s portrait, making it a notable item in Iraq’s philatelic history.
