Russia (Levant) · 1900 · 4 paras and 7 piastres

Two definitive postage stamps issued by the Russian Empire for use in its post offices in the Levant, featuring denominations of 4 paras and 7 piastres. These stamps were surcharged on regular Russian kopeck issues for local currency use, dating from the 1900-1903 period.
