1919 French Occupied Syria - Save 35% on this Never-Hinged High Value from World War I

Syria was divided into French and British occupation zones at the end of World War I. In 1919, French stamps were overprinted in Syrian currency and the letters “T.E.O.”, French for “Occupied Enemy Territory”. This 10 piastre overprint on a 1 franc French stamp shows a seated allegorical symbol of peace. (Syria #10)
