EBS French Alawite Territory - Alaouites 1926 - Nuri Minaret - YT 53

Description: Territory of the Alawites territoire des Alaouites The Alawite State or the Alaouites (Fr.) was located between the Turkish province of Hatay (formerly the Syrian province of Alexandretta) and Lebanon. Geographically within Syria, the Alawite state was administered under a French mandate between 1920 and 1930 and as the Sanjak of Latakia from 1930. From 5 December 1936 (effective in 1937) it was fully incorporated into Syria. France never designed postage stamps specifically for the Alawite state. Initially Syrian stamps were used, inevitably causing accounting difficulties between the Alawite and Syrian postal services. In 1925, French stamps were overprinted "ALAOUITES" followed by a denomination in piastres (French stamps being denominated in francs) and this was followed by the same information in Arabic. 1926 Available here is a Syrian stamp of 1925 depicting the minaret of the Nuri Mosque (12th century) overprinted in red ALAOUITES with new value.
