MAROC POSTES in 1952 issued a set of four Moroccan postage stamps to aid the "Maroc Solidarite" which was a common source for charitable funds in France, their colonies and other European countries in post-WWII. Each stamp featured traditional Moroccan jewelry and bore different denominations and colours:
- 15 Francs: daggers from southern Morocco
- 20 Francs: jewelry from Fez
- 25 Francs: fibulas from the Atlas Mountains
- 50 Francs (air mail): fibulas and necklaces in northern Morocco
These stamps were likely issued to raise funds for social causes in Morocco. The circular postmarks on these stamps included the text "Cherifien Postes Tangers" (French Protectorate) and dated 28 March 1953. This particular cover was posted to New York.
