Lebanon Early Revenue Stamps, Set of 7

Lebanon · 1925 · Various (1 Piastre, 2 Piastres, 5 Piastres)

This is a collection of seven early revenue or fiscal stamps from Lebanon, likely from the French Mandate period. The designs prominently feature the Cedar of Lebanon, a powerful national symbol, within an ornate frame. The text is in both French ('Republique Libanaise') and Arabic, indicating the dual official languages of the era.

Issued during the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon (1923–1946), these stamps were used for tax and fee collection rather than postage, reflecting the administrative systems established under French control.
