Pakistan 1950 3 Annas Overprint

Pakistan · 1950 · 3 Annas

This official service stamp features the national emblem of Pakistan, a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, which are symbols of Islam, progress, and light. The stamp is overprinted with the word 'SERVICE' in black ink, designating it for use on official government mail.

Issued in 1950, this stamp was part of a series created by overprinting definitive stamps for official government use, a common practice in the early years following Pakistan's independence in 1947.
