Minister Cabinet

Mauritius issued a stamp series in 2007 of which one stamps pictured the First Cabinet of Government Ministers of 1957. The Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources, A.M. Osman, was confounded on the stamp by his brother A.H. Osman, a Professor at the University of Khartoum, Sudan. When the mistake was noticed the already issued stamp was withdrawn and replaced by a corrected issue.
