Young King Farouk, 20m blue or maybe ultramarine a/38, block of 4 mint, even comes in a rather old transparent paper envelope ^^



Just received them from a friend, but cannot find any mention of them, I can come close but that was a higher number and from a cancelled run.

can anyone help me find some information on these, date, run or maybe worth in case I want to sell?

Sorry, I'm really new at this, not entirely sure what I'm doing yet

Thank you very much

This is a common issue. It was printed in 1937-1944. It is a Scott 215 and each stamp has a CV of 75 cents mint.

Your local library usually will have catalogs that will help.
