This issue begins as the United Arab Republic (Egypt) definitive featuring the well-known “Motherhood” design, printed in soft rose-carmine tones. It was later overprinted in black with the word “PALESTINE” in both Arabic and English, creating one of the politically meaningful postal issues tied to Egypt’s postal support for Palestinian administration during the mid-20th century. These overprints were produced for use in the Gaza Strip, then under Egyptian administration, and are highly sought after due to their geopolitical context, multiple printings, and known overprint varieties. The contrast of the dark overprint on the delicate portrait makes this 1-millime value especially attractive for collectors of Middle Eastern postal history, overprints, and Gaza-related issues.
