Indonesia Masjid Istiqlal Djarkarta Postage Stamp (Rp 1.50 + 0.50)

This is a rectangular Indonesian postage stamp featuring a depiction of the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta. The stamp is predominantly a rich brown color with the mosque illustration and text rendered in white. Its physical characteristics include a standard perforated edge, typical of postage stamps, suggesting it was produced for postal use. The design showcases the iconic architecture of the Istiqlal Mosque, including its large central dome, minaret, and surrounding structure, all rendered with clean, architectural lines. Prominently displayed on the left side of the stamp are the monetary values 'Rp 1.50' and below it '+ 0.50', indicating a face value with an additional surcharge, often used for charitable or special causes. The upper right corner features 'MESJID ISTIQLAL DJAKARTA', identifying the depicted building and its location. Along the right vertical edge, 'REPUBLIK INDONESIA' is printed, clearly indicating the issuing country. The stamp appears to be in unfranked condition, possibly unused, and shows good preservation with sharp details and no visible creasing, tears, or significant discoloration. It is housed in what appears to be a protective clear plastic sleeve or mount, common for philatelic preservation, which itself shows some minor handling evidence with faint parallel lines across its surface. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with national postal service issues.
