Lebanon · 1924 · 1 Piastre

This is the first postage due stamp issued for Lebanon. The design features a prominent numeral '1' indicating the one piastre value, set against a background of ornamental scrollwork. The iconic Cedar of Lebanon tree, a national symbol, is depicted at the top center, with inscriptions in both French ('TIMBRE-TAXE') and Arabic.

Issued in 1924 under the French Mandate for Syria and Lebanon, this stamp represents the establishment of a formal postal system and the need to collect payment for insufficient postage.
