Sudan · 1905 · 1 Millieme on 5 Piastres
This stamp features the iconic 'Camel Postman' design, a symbol of Sudan's postal service traversing the desert. It has been overprinted with 'ARMY OFFICIAL' in black, repurposing it for military use. The original 5 Piastres denomination is struck through and a new value of 1 Millieme is applied.
