Sudan Definitive Issue with Perfin

Sudan · 1951 · 10m

This definitive stamp features the Governor-General's Palace in Khartoum, a prominent symbol of the Anglo-Egyptian administration. The stamp is overprinted with a 'perfin' (perforated initials), likely for official or commercial use to prevent theft. The design is rendered in a single color, typical for definitive issues of the era.

Issued during the Anglo-Egyptian condominium period, just a few years before Sudan gained independence in 1956. Perfins were a common security measure used by government departments and large companies on their postage.
