It appears that the stamps issue date was not a very important thing for the British Postal Agencies in Eastern Arabia (BPAEA) , as can be seen on the two covers on the image below.
These are a fairly rare set of covers showing the first day of issue of the exact same stamps, with from Qatar !!!
How is that possible?
Well, we know that the (BPAEA) was responsible for making the f the stamps available for most of the countries in the region (Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Sharjah and so on). But the two primary centres were Oman (Muscat) and Bahrain.
However, the H.M. Queen Elizabeth II Coronation (2nd of June 1953) stamps issue dates are not as expected:
- Bahrain & Kuwait 3rd of June 1953;
- Oman & Qatar 10th of June 1953
