Issued in 1938, this striking set of Egyptian commemoratives honors the International Telecommunications Congress held in Cairo. Each design features the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, framed by telegraph lines and pylons – symbolizing Egypt’s role in modern communication while rooted in its ancient heritage. The top inscriptions show "EGYPTE" and the crowned "GR" monogram, referencing King Farouk’s reign. Denominations include 5 mills (red-brown), 15 mills (violet-lilac), and 20 mills (blue). Highly sought by collectors of Egyptian commemoratives and thematic issues combining telecommunications and world heritage landmarks.
