French Algeria Sower Surcharged 30c

French Algeria · 1924 · 30c

The stamp features the classic French 'Semeuse' (Sower) design, depicting an allegorical female figure striding left, sowing seeds, with a rising sun in the background. It is surcharged '30c' in black over the original denomination.

This stamp is a French definitive Sower stamp, overprinted for use in French Algeria in 1924. This practice was common for French colonies, reflecting their administrative ties to metropolitan France and the need for local currency denominations.
