ALGERIA

Algeria is a former French colony that used french stamps with an overprint when it began to issue stamps for the country. It then started to issue its own stamps until it became Independent state of France in 1958, and began to use French stamps again with an overprint. In 1962 Algeria became an independent country, and started to issue its own stamps again. The following are some example of Algeria stamps with the most popular markings:
