Greece 1944 Surcharge Issue

Greece · 1944 · Various (Surcharged)

This set of four stamps features surcharges applied to earlier definitive issues. The original designs, which include ancient Greek themes and landscapes, are overprinted with new, higher denominations in red or black ink to adjust for wartime inflation.

Issued in 1944 towards the end of the Axis occupation of Greece during World War II, these surcharged stamps reflect the severe inflation and economic instability the country faced at the time.
