Morocco Agencies (British Post Offices) · 1898 · 5 Centimos

This stamp is a definitive issue from Great Britain, originally part of the 1887 "Jubilee" series, featuring a portrait of Queen Victoria. It has been overprinted with "Morocco / Agencies" and a new denomination in Spanish currency (Centimos) for use in British post offices operating in Morocco.

At the end of the 19th century, several European powers maintained post offices in Morocco. Great Britain overprinted its contemporary stamps for use in these agencies, reflecting its commercial and diplomatic presence in the region before Morocco became a French protectorate.
