AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This complete set was printed directly on original Ottoman match tax banderol stamps (Kibrit Banderolu), originally issued by the Ottoman Banderol İdaresi, the revenue authority responsible for producing fiscal stamps.

These fiscal banderol stamps were first produced in the late 19th century and were later reused for the Hejaz Railway Aid Tax, giving this issue strong historical importance. The stamps retain their original Ottoman paper, texture, and authentic Arabic inscriptions, including 'كبريت باند رولدر' and 'بش باره'.

The complete set consists of three denominations.
1 Piastre is very rare.
2 Piastre rare
5 Piastre extremely rare

This issue is extremely rare, very scarce, and difficult to collect, and it is highly sought after by collectors due to its distinctive material, genuine overprint usage, and close association with the Hejaz Railway Aid.

The set comes mounted on a custom-designed luxury card crafted from high-quality paper with a unique layout and printed using fine laser printing, showcasing both the beauty and the historical significance of the stamps.
