Sultan Mohammed V, French Morocco Postage

French Morocco · 1950 · 100f

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Sultan Mohammed V of Morocco, who was the reigning monarch during the French Protectorate. The design is simple and elegant, focusing on the Sultan's profile, a common style for definitive issues of the era. The inscription 'MAROC' and 'POSTES' clearly identify its origin and purpose.

Issued during the French Protectorate in Morocco, this stamp represents the period just before the country's push for independence, which Mohammed V championed, leading to his exile in 1953 and triumphant return in 1955.
