Syria, 1925 Postage Due Stamp

Syria · 1925 · 1 Piastre

This is a postage due stamp, indicated by the French text "Timbre-Taxe" and the prominent numeral "1" signifying the amount to be collected. The design is purely typographic, featuring the denomination in both Arabic and French, with "Syrie" at the top and "Grand Liban" at the bottom, reflecting the French Mandate administration of the time.

Issued under the French Mandate for Syria and Lebanon, this stamp was used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter. The dual-language inscription reflects the administrative reality of the period.
