Turkey 1922 Surcharge Treasury Tax Revenue Stamp

Turkey · 1922 · 10 para on 10 piasters

A green Turkish treasury tax revenue stamp from 1922, featuring a surcharge of '10 para' over the original '10 piasters' denomination, with Ottoman script.

Issued during a period of significant political and economic upheaval in Turkey, this revenue stamp with a surcharge indicates the government's need to adjust fiscal policies, likely due to inflation or changes in taxation during the Turkish War of Independence.
