Bangladesh · 1971 · 10 Paisa
This provisional stamp features a black overprint of "BANGLA DESH" in English on a 1969 Pakistani definitive stamp. The original design depicts a map of Pakistan, which was overprinted to serve as the first postage for the newly independent nation.
Issued in December 1971, these overprints were a swift and practical measure to establish postal sovereignty for Bangladesh immediately following its war of independence from Pakistan.
