British Post Offices in Morocco · 1898 · 5 Centimos on ½d
This stamp is a definitive issue from Great Britain featuring a portrait of Queen Victoria, specifically the 'Jubilee' design. It was overprinted in black with 'Morocco / Agencies' and surcharged with a new denomination in Spanish currency, '5 Centimos', for use in British postal agencies operating in Morocco.
At the end of the 19th century, several European powers maintained post offices in Morocco. This overprinted British stamp reflects the UK's commercial and diplomatic presence in the region before the establishment of the French and Spanish protectorates.
