Pakistan 1960 Official Stamps Overprint
Pakistan · 1960 · Various
This series of official stamps was created by overprinting existing definitive stamps from the 1957-1960 period. The overprint consists of the word 'SERVICE' in black ink, designating them for use on government mail. The underlying designs feature the national symbol of the crescent and star, along with various denominations.
Issued during the early years of the Republic of Pakistan under President Ayub Khan, these stamps facilitated official government correspondence, a common practice for many postal administrations worldwide.
