Lebanon 1947 Airmail Semi-Postal, Inverted Surcharge

Lebanon · 1947 · 25p on 10p

This semi-postal airmail stamp features a red surcharge of '25p' and an airplane overprint on a 1945 10p definitive stamp depicting a Cedar of Lebanon. This specific variety is a rare error where the surcharge was applied upside down, creating an inverted overprint.

Issued in 1947, this stamp was part of a series overprinted for airmail use and to raise funds for charitable purposes. Inverted surcharge errors like this are highly sought after by collectors as they represent significant printing mistakes.
