Sudan 1940 Definitives with 4 1/2 Piastres Overprint (Set of 2)

Sudan · 1940 · 4 1/2 Piastres

This set features two definitive stamps from Sudan, originally 5 Milliemes and 8 Piastres, both overprinted in black with the new denomination '4 1/2 Piastres'. The design depicts a camel rider traversing a desert landscape, a common motif for Sudanese stamps of the era.

Issued during World War II, these overprints likely reflect a revision of postal rates or currency adjustments in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Such changes were common during periods of economic instability and administrative shifts.
