1909 Turkey (Ottoman Empire) Postage Stamp 10 Para War Orphans Charity Tax Imperial Cipher Of Sultan Mehmed V Within The Red Crescent And Star UsedThis Ottoman Overprint Represents One Of The Most Distinctive Transitional Markings Of The Late Imperial Period. The Design Features A Large Crescent And Star, The Enduring Symbol Of The Ottoman Empire, Containing Within The Crescent The Arabic Numerals “1327” Which Correspond To The Islamic Hijri Calendar Year Equivalent To 1909 In The Gregorian System. Centered Below Within The Crescent’s Lower Arc Appears The Elegant Calligraphic Tughra, Or Imperial Cipher, Of Sultan Mehmed V Reşad, Who Ascended The Throne In 1909 Following The Deposition Of Sultan Abdulhamid II. This Symbol Was Adopted Immediately After The Young Turk Revolution Of 1908 And Used As An Official Overprint To Revalidate Earlier Stocks Of Duloz And Empire Issues For Continued Postal And Fiscal Use Under The Reconstituted Constitutional Monarchy. The Presence Of The Date “1327” Signified The First Year Of Sultan Mehmed V’s Reign And The Beginning Of A Period Of Political And Administrative Reorganization Within The Empire. Overprints Of This Type Were Struck In Various Colors, Typically Red Or Black, Depending On The Original Stamp Issue, And They Appear On Numerous Base Values From The Late Nineteenth Century Series. The Design’s Symbolism Combined Both The Religious Emblem Of Islam And The Modernizing Spirit Of The Early Twentieth Century Ottoman State.
