Greek Occupation of Western Thrace 2 Lepta Overprint Stamp

Greece · 1920 · 2 lepta

This stamp features a 2-lepta definitive stamp from Greece's 1913 lithographic issue, overprinted with 'Διοίκησις Δυτικής Θράκης' (Administration of Western Thrace). The overprint signifies its use during the Greek occupation of the region.

Issued in 1920, this stamp reflects the temporary Greek administration of Western Thrace following World War I, a period of significant territorial changes in the Balkans before the region was formally ceded to Greece by the Treaty of Sèvres.
