Qatar's unoverprinted 1961 oil derrick definitive.



1964 overprintings to note the Olympic Games
and John F. Kennedy's death.

Existing stock of the Qatari oil derrick stamp, previously unoverprinted as well as
overprinted, underwent a revaluation from rupees to riyals in 1966. These examples
show revaluation (left) on the 1961 previously unoverprinted stamp as well as black
and red overprinted revaluations the the JFK stamp ( center and right).

Errors of the revaluation overprint on the JFK issue — a
double overprint on the left and an inverted one on the right.
