This postage due set issued by the Government of Jordan in September 1952 represents a significant currency transition following the establishment of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The 10 stamps feature overprints converting the denominations from the British Mandate-era "mils" currency to the new "fils" system, reflecting Jordan's growing postal independence. Each stamp displays the classic postage due design with Arabic inscriptions reading "East of Jordan" (شرق الأردن) and "Postage Due" in both Arabic and English, framed by ornate decorative borders typical of early Jordanian postal issues. The denominations range from 1 fils to 50 fils, printed in various colors including red brown, orange yellow, scarlet, olive green, and blue. The set includes 8 variant records featuring different overprint colors (red, black, green), inverted overprints, double overprints, and different perforation measurements (12, 13.5, and 14). These postage due stamps served the practical function of collecting additional postage on underpaid mail while symbolizing Jordan's administrative modernization under the Hashemite monarchy during the early 1950s.
