Morocco (Tangier) Fez Issue, 1903

Morocco · 1903 · 50 Centimes

This stamp features a view of the city of Fez, a significant cultural and religious center in Morocco. The design is based on a French stamp (Blanc issue) and was overprinted in black with 'TANGIER' and the denomination in both French '50 CENTIMES' and Arabic script. This local issue was created for use in the British postal agency in Tangier.

Issued for the British Post Office in Tangier, this stamp reflects the complex international postal arrangements in Morocco during the early 20th century, before the establishment of the French and Spanish protectorates.
