It should also be noted that Palestine did not have an independent flag at that time, so it was decided to write the word &quot;Palestine&quot; on a flag with a white background.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/12241595_10156114957965391_8331137226648902177_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281189\" width=\"199\" height=\"323\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\" id=\"13-%D8%B2%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%84%D9%83-%D8%A7%D9%84-%D8%B3%D8%B9%D9%88%D8%AF-\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D8%B2%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%84%D9%83_%D8%A7%D9%84_%D8%B3%D8%B9%D9%88%D8%AF\"><\/span><strong>King Al Saud&#039;s visit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p dir=\"rtl\">It was initially decided to design a stamp with an Egyptian sword and a Hejazi sword crossed, but the image appeared somewhat aggressive, especially since the world was celebrating peace at the time after the end of World War II. Therefore, an image of the two national flags was chosen, and following the rules of protocol, the flag of the honored guest was placed on the right side and the flag of the host country (Egypt) on the left side. It is worth noting that the Saudi flag in this form was not realistically positioned, as it is noticeable that the two testimonies were facing towards the flagpole, while in reality they are far away (see the image of the Saudi flag and its flagpole on the Arab League publication for further clarification).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-8c6367eeb78947fb9a67f9647334fc7f.r2.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/12249991_10156114959370391_2855042082477666043_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281190\" width=\"303\" height=\"183\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p dir=\"rtl\">For more similar articles on Al-Muqtani Al-Arabi, you can follow <a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/king-farouks-world-coin-collection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Link<\/a> the next<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a5VTbDNYmuF\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"jPi8Mjq7wT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/en\/king-farouks-world-coin-collection\/\">King Farouk&#039;s World Coin Collection<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cKing Farouk\u2019s World Coin Collection\u201d \u2014 The Arab Collector\" src=\"https:\/\/arabcollector.com\/%d9%85%d8%ac%d9%85%d9%88%d8%b9%d8%a9-%d8%b9%d9%85%d9%84%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85-%d9%84%d9%84%d9%85%d9%84%d9%83-%d9%81%d8%a7%d8%b1%d9%88%d9%82\/embed\/#?secret=aa9WnBU8Bz#?secret=jPi8Mjq7wT\" data-secret=\"jPi8Mjq7wT\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that there are some simple observations\u2014which may be unknown to some collectors\u2014about certain royal Farouk commemorative stamps?
