    1924 (May 5): Cover from Zahle to Amman franked by Grand Liban 1924 2 pi. on Merson 40 c. tied by Zahle despatch cds, shortpaid 1 piastre with old Turkish circular 'T' marking in black at base Taxed on arrival with Jordan September 1923 1 pi. blue tied AMMAN datestamp in blue. Reverse with Damas transit (May 6) and Amman cds in violet (May 10). An extremely rare usage of this issue on letter and very fine.

    Note: The Lebanese currency was linked to the French Franc, whose valued declined with the inflation of the Franc. The Jordanian piastre was linked to the more stable Egyptian piastre. Thus although the Jordanian 1 pi. applied here appears correct, it is undoubtedly a 'rounding up' of the amount due, there being only a ½ piastre Postage Due otherwise available, which would have been too small an amount.
