This “Labours” stamp was issued for the first time on June 1, 1964 with a face value of 0.25 dinars. The issue of this same stamp on December 28, 1967 is due precisely to an overcharge relating to its face value revalued at 0.30 dinar due to a rearrangement of postal rates occurring at this period.
In the world of timbre, overprinting is used to perform various functions. When it comes to changing postage prices, a postal administration may want to use a stock of already printed stamps.
The surcharge will then give a new face value. Monetary reforms with changes in the denomination of the currencies in force were also the cause of surcharges.
Finally, the surcharge can be placed on a stamp when a change of regime or country occurs, as was the case during the independence of certain African countries, for example the series of French postage stamps bearing the mention “EA” for Algerian State issued on July 5, 1962.
