Tunisia 1906 Bey Muhammad IV al-Hadi

Tunisia · 1906 · 10c

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Muhammad IV al-Hadi, the Bey of Tunis, facing left within an ornate oval frame. The design is characteristic of the French Protectorate era, with inscriptions in both Arabic and French, indicating the country and denomination.

Issued under the French Protectorate of Tunisia, this stamp series replaced earlier issues and was used for postage throughout the territory. Muhammad IV al-Hadi's reign (1902-1906) was brief, and this series was issued in the final year of his rule.
