Tunisia 1923 Overprints Set

Tunisia · 1923 · Various (1c to 5f)

This set of 17 stamps consists of earlier Tunisian issues from 1906-1921 that were overprinted in 1923. The underlying designs feature a variety of subjects including Tunisian landscapes, historical figures, ships, and military decorations, reflecting the diverse imagery of the French Protectorate's definitive series.

Issued under the French Protectorate, these overprints were a common practice to update postal rates or revalidate existing stamp stocks without incurring the cost of designing and printing entirely new issues.
