Lebanon 1924 Postage Due Surcharge
Lebanon · 1924 · 0.50 Piastre on 1 Centime
This postage due stamp features a large numeral '1' indicating the original French centime value, which has been overprinted. A black surcharge in Arabic and French text, along with the new value of '0.50 PIASTRE' and 'LIBAN', was applied to adapt the stamp for use in Lebanon.
Issued under the French Mandate, this stamp is an example of overprinting existing French colonial stock for local use in Lebanon, reflecting the political and administrative transition of the period.
