Sudan 1940 Overprint 5 Mills on 10 Milliemes Camel
Sudan · 1940 · 5 Mills
This stamp features a red-brown design of a camel in a desert landscape, originally denominated 10 Milliemes. It bears a black overprint of '5 Mills' across the center, changing its postal value.
Issued in 1940, this overprint was a provisional measure to adjust postal rates, likely for internal mail, and to simplify the denomination from 'Milliemes' to the more commonly abbreviated 'Mills' during wartime conditions.
