Memelland 1922 Merson Type with Double Overprint
Memelland · 1922 · 75 Pfennig
This stamp features a French 'Type Merson' allegorical design, originally issued in 1900, overprinted twice for use in Memelland in 1922. The first black overprint includes 'MEMEL' and '60 Pfennig', while the second dark blue overprint indicates a new value of '75'.
Issued during the period when Memelland was under League of Nations administration, these overprinted stamps reflect the transitional status and currency changes of the territory before its annexation by Lithuania.
