This is an exceptionally rare postal stamp from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), issued in 1962 with a face value of 10 Paisa. Featuring the iconic Shalimar Gardens in rich brown coloring, this stamp bears a distinctive red “Service” overprint, indicating its official postal use. The Shalimar Gardens—one of South Asia’s most celebrated Mughal monuments—makes this stamp historically and culturally significant.

Dating back over six decades, this piece captures a pivotal moment in subcontinental postal history, just 15 years after the partition of India. The stamp’s “Service” overprint denotes its use for official government correspondence, making it particularly scarce compared to regular circulation stamps. In extremely fine condition with authentic used markings, this collectible showcases excellent preservation despite its age.

Philatelists and historians alike treasure stamps from the East Pakistan era for their rarity and historical value. This particular issue is increasingly difficult to source, making it a worthy addition to serious collections focusing on South Asian postal history, Mughal heritage, or stamps commemorating architectural landmarks. Its scarcity, historical context, and aesthetic appeal combine to make this a genuinely investment-grade collectible item.
