Issued by the Spanish colony of Ifni in 1952, this 10 + 5 centimos stamp commemorates the Día del Sello Colonial (Colonial Stamp Day). It features a finely engraved depiction of a crested cormorant, symbolizing the region’s coastal wildlife along the Atlantic. The surcharge supported postal and colonial causes under Spanish administration. Printed by F.N.M.T. (Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre) in rich carmine tones, this elegant design remains a sought-after piece among collectors of colonial and North African issues.
