Morocco · 1918 · 10c on 15c

This stamp is a French Protectorate issue overprinted with a new value. The original 15 centimes stamp, featuring the Great Mosque of Tangier, was surcharged to 10 centimes. The overprint reads 'PROTECTORAT FRANÇAIS' and the new value '10' is prominently displayed.

Issued during World War I, this surcharge reflects the economic necessities and postal rate changes of the time within the French Protectorate of Morocco.
