French Morocco 5 Centimes, Type Mouchon

French Morocco · 1914 · 5c

This definitive stamp features the 'Type Mouchon' design, an allegorical representation of the French Republic as Liberty. The design, originally by Louis-Eugène Mouchon, was adapted for use in various French colonies and protectorates. This specific issue was overprinted 'MAROC' for use in the French Protectorate in Morocco.

Issued shortly after the establishment of the French Protectorate in Morocco in 1912, this stamp represents the extension of French postal services and administrative control over the region.
