Morocco, Mohammed V, 10 Francs

Morocco · 1939 · 10f

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Sultan Mohammed V of Morocco, who was the reigning monarch at the time. The design is simple and elegant, focusing on the profile of the Sultan, framed by traditional Moroccan geometric patterns. It was part of a long-running series used for regular postage.

Issued under the French Protectorate, this stamp represents a period of dual authority in Morocco. Sultan Mohammed V would later become a key figure in the Moroccan independence movement, eventually becoming the first King of an independent Morocco in 1957.
