lot # 5098 - Nigerkueste Fiskalmarken
Postal Orders: 1931: King George V, 6 d. blue, overprinted 2 d. and additional "One Penny" above, type T3T, original poundage 1 d., small design, with stamp box at right, dated 4 December 1947, vertical crease and irregular edge to left, otherwise fine. Scarce.
Note: The additional 'One Penny' overprint reduced the local poundage to match the original. This was as a result of the reduction of poundage on 1 July 1947. All remaining postal orders were then overprinted with this reduced figure.
