This striking stamp from the République Fédérale du Cameroun depicts a vivid illustration of bananas (Musa acuminata), emphasizing the nation’s agricultural richness. Originally issued at 30 francs, this example bears an overprint changing the value to 40 F, a common postal adjustment practice reflecting changing postal rates or revaluations. The design, by P. Lambert and engraved by Delrieu, features dynamic shades of blue and yellow that highlight the tropical abundance of Cameroon’s fruit exports.

For collectors, this overprinted issue is part of Cameroon’s agricultural definitive series, showcasing key crops such as bananas, cocoa, and coffee that were central to the economy of the era.
