Marianne de Gandon with ALGERIE Surcharge

Algeria · 1945 · 2F

The stamp depicts a left-facing profile of Marianne, the allegorical figure of the French Republic, with 'REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE' and 'POSTES'. It bears a horizontal 'ALGERIE' surcharge and a '2F' denomination.

This stamp was issued shortly after World War II, reflecting Algeria's status as a French territory and the administrative changes or currency adjustments during the post-war period. The surcharge indicates its specific use within Algeria.
