Great Lebanon 1924 Postage Stamp

Lebanon · 1924 · 1 Piastre

This stamp is from the first definitive series issued for the State of Great Lebanon under the French Mandate. The design prominently features a Cedar of Lebanon, a powerful national symbol, set within an ornamental frame. The inscriptions are in both French ('Grand Liban') and Arabic.

Issued shortly after the establishment of the State of Great Lebanon in 1920, this stamp represents the new political entity under French administration, replacing previous Ottoman and French military occupation issues.
