This stamp serves as a foundational value from the landmark 1964 first definitive series of Ras Al Khaimah. The vertical design showcases a formal portrait of Sheikh Saqr bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, who ruled the emirate for over six decades, from 1948 until his passing in 2010. The background panel behind the portrait subtly integrates a vertical strip of traditional arabesque scrolling filigree. By issuing this natively branded regular stamp, the emirate's civil administration effectively asserted its independent territorial authority and structured postal operations on the global stage.
