Morocco · 1914 · 10 Centimes

This is the first postage stamp issued for the French Protectorate of Morocco. The design features a 1912 French definitive stamp, originally valued at 10 centimes, which has been overprinted with 'PROTECTORAT FRANÇAIS' and surcharged with a new value of 10 centimes in black ink. The overprint signifies the new political status of the region.

Issued shortly after the Treaty of Fes in 1912 established the French Protectorate, these overprinted stamps were a provisional measure to provide postage for the new administration.
