Jigjiga Customs Stamps The exact origin and purposes of this issue has not yet been firmly established. They have been referred to as Jigjiga Customs stamps as well as Salt Tax revenue stamps. Research on these stamps continues. Based on my research, these are clearly customs stamps as almost every example I have examined bears the inscription in Amharic ጉምሩከ ᎓ or customs. Currently I have seen examples with Amharic (of) Harar የሐረር ፡ and (of) Jigjiga የጅጅጋ ᎓ inscriptions. One researcher in early Ethiopian taxation practices posits that specific customs stamps may have been used to pay various types of duties. Please contact me if you have scans to share of customs stamps or related documents not shown on my website. |
