South Africa 1926 Official Stamp, English Inscription

South Africa · 1926 · 1d

This stamp is an overprint on the definitive 'Springbok' issue of 1926. The original design features a Springbok, a national symbol of South Africa, leaping in a field. It was overprinted with 'OFFICIAL' in English and 'OFFISIEEL' in Afrikaans to designate it for government use.

Issued during the Union of South Africa period, these bilingual overprints reflect the country's dual official languages (English and Afrikaans) and were used for official government correspondence.
