Year Of The Soils

On October 16, 2015, Tunisia issued a stamp commemorating the “International year of soils”. A matching first day cover with imprint and a first day cancellation were also issued. However, the imprint and the cancellation read “Année Interntionale des sols” thus missing an “a” in “internationale”. When the error was detected after a few hours of sale the cover and stamp device were withdrawn and replaced with a corrected version after 3 days.
