Tunisia Coat of Arms Issue 1888-1908 Presented by Norval Rasmussen, Vice President of the France and Colonies Philatelic Society (US) and editor of The France and Colonies Philatelist.
This presentation on the first Tunisian stamp issue, the Bey of Tunis’s coat of arms, includes the essay by E. Cassi and the large die proofs of the first issue. All three printings of the first issue are followed by the second issue’s first printing and all the changes in design and color of the second issue. A detailed description of the differences between the first and second issue makes distinguishing them easy. The postage due use of the stamps is presented with descriptions of the three types of perfins. Examples of the postal use ends the program.
