Jordan Sc/SG 1 issued November 1920. The overprint reads "East of Jordan". Jordan went from being a British Mandate (#1) to a Kingdom (#221).   |

A month or so back we had a contributor upload a tranche of mandate era Jordan to the Colnect catalogue. All those overprints make for complicated sorting if you have a bunch of them

I did not realize that Trans-Jordan was part of the initial Palestine Mandate (from the Balfour Declaration) but later removed from the area in tended for the Jews.
