Turkey 1918 Hedjaz Railway Surcharge
Turkey · 1918 · 2 piasters on 1 piaster
A red-brown stamp originally denominated 1 piaster for the Hedjaz Railway, overprinted with a black surcharge of '2 Piasters'.
Issued by Turkey in 1918, this surcharge likely reflects a change in postal or revenue rates during the final year of World War I, specifically for services related to the Hedjaz Railway.
