Tunisia 1923 Overprints on French Stamps
Tunisia · 1923 · Various (1c to 5f)
This is a complete set of 17 semi-postal stamps issued by the French Protectorate of Tunisia. The stamps are French issues of the time (Sower, Pasteur, and various pictorials) overprinted in red or black with 'TUNISIE' and a surcharge. The surtax was designated to benefit war orphans.
Issued in 1923, these stamps reflect the post-World War I period, with proceeds from the surcharge aiding orphans of the war. This was a common practice for many countries and territories during this era.
