SHARJAH “60” ON “75 D.H.” OVERPRINTS

 

 

 

10 different varieties of the “60” on “75 DH” overprint stamps are known. The differences are in the space between the “60” overprint in English and Arabic and the font size in Arabic.

 

In my opinion, the “60” overprints stamp made because the heavy demand of 60 DH. Stamps of the same set and that due to the Palestine workers in Sharjah. The rate from Sharjah to Cyprus is 60 DH. I have notice that almost all examples of the covers that I have with the “60” overprint are sent to Cyprus and from there to Palestine.
