Year: 1894
View of Djibouti - 30 Centime
Representing the formal establishment of the Protectorat de la Côte des Somalis, this large-format 1-centime stamp is a masterpiece of colonial engraving. The design is rich with local iconography, featuring two Somali warriors flanking a central panoramic view of a coastal settlement. It is inscribed with "Djibouti 1893-94" at the bottom and includes text in French, Arabic, and Ethiopic scripts, reflecting the diverse cultural crossroads of the region. Unlike earlier overprinted issues, this stamp was part of a dedicated series designed to project the organized identity of the French protectorate.
