Introduction

The Archipel of the Comores consists of four major islands and a few small ones. During the

19th Century Mayotte, Anjouan, Grande Comore and Mohéli became French territories, until

1911 each with their own postage stamps, then administered as part of Madagascar, and

from 1946 as a separate colonial entity again, with postage stamps as ‘Archipel des Comores’

between 1950 and 1975. In 1975 three islands declared their Independence from France, but

Mayotte decided to remain part of France. For the other Comoran territories (both before

1912 and after 1975) see APH34.

Introduction

“Mayotte, consisting of the islands Grande-Terre (24 miles by 14 miles) and Petite-Terre ( 4 square miles), is located between Madagascar and Mozambique in the Mozambique Channel of the Indian Ocean”. http://bigblue1840-1940.blogspot.com/2013/12/ClassicalStampsofMayotte.html

It was the French administrative and postal center in the archipelago. Between 1911 and 1975, Mayotte's postal history is the same as the other Comoros: part of the Madagascar colony, then part of the Comoros Archipelago overseas territory”.

regroupées dans l'appellation "colonies générales". Notons que certaines valeurs ont été envoyées à Mayotte en quantité négligeable : 1500 timbres pour les 1c, 30c, 80c au type Napoléon III par exemple ...Il convient de rechercher ces timbres à l'état oblitéré, muni de l'un des cachets de Mayotte utilisés durant cette période … La très faible population de colons, fonctionnaires ou de militaires, l'état émergeant de la philatélie à l'époque, et les conditions climatiques difficiles limitant la conservation des documents sur place, font que la quantité de courrier ayant subsisté jusqu'à nos jours est extrêmement restreinte. Ainsi, ces timbres sont devenue rares à l'état oblitéré, et les quelques enveloppes qui subsistent sont très recherchées des collectionneurs. On trouve cependant assez couramment des timbres avec oblitération de complaisance : par exemple le 40c type sage se retrouve muni du cachet "D'zaoudzi * Mayotte * 1 mai 81" alors que ce cachet n'est apparu que vers 1889…”

1997-2001, ‘collectivité territoriale’ with own postage stamps:

selection of postage stamps

Between January 1997 and December 2001 the French postal authorities issued 88 different postage stamps. We selected examples of stamps with a message about the islands.

“Le 2 janvier 1997 sont apparus les nouveaux timbres mahorais, l'île retrouvant l'autonomie postale perdue au début du siècle ..Le rythme des émissions est actuellement d'une dizaine de timbres par an, tous ayant pour thèmes jusqu'à présent des sujets locaux ... Notons qu'une période d'affranchissement mixtes France+Mayotte a été autorisée du 2 janvier au 31 mars 1997”.

The French franc has replaced the Comorian franc in Mayotte in the last days of February 1976, until the coming of the euro currency (€) at the same date as in France (1st January 2002).

The administrative and legal situations of Mayotte in the last quarter of the 20th century (“territorial community”) were an original mixing of different origins, including the Muslim right still

predominant, and also some laws from the colonial period. Nowadays, Mayotte gets clearly involved in the direction of a pure French subdivision called “département”, completely integrated to the European Union. Hence, the present political discussion in Mayotte concerns for instance the ways and delay to stop the polygamy.

In the philatelic point of view, the “territorial community” of Mayotte has adopted the French stamps from March 1976 to the 31st December 1996. Then, the Mayotte postal authorities ..have issued their own stamps from 1997.. However, during a period of three months between the 2nd January and 29th March 1997, the using of both French and Mayotte stamp was authorized in the island… Since 1997, Mayotte issues around 12 stamps every year, depicting exclusively local subjects. The number of post-offices has gradually increased in the two last decades, reaching now about twenty (with three different post-office classes)..

b) A variety of overprint on "Marianne" stamps (2003)

It seems that a postal service in mayotte made, in autumn 2003, a local overprint "MAYOTTE" on the French Marianne 0.02 € and 0.05 € stamps due to a temporary lack of these values. This local
