The “Servizio Commissioni” stamps issued by Italy in 1924 were a special series of postage stamps dedicated to commission fees. These stamps were specifically intended for use on postal items related to commission services, such as money orders, postal orders, and other financial transactions.

The Servizio Commissioni stamps featured a unique design distinct from regular postage stamps. They often included inscriptions such as “Servizio Commissioni” or “Commissioni di Servizio” to indicate their purpose. Additionally, these stamps were denominated with specific values corresponding to the commission fees charged for various postal services.

These stamps provided a convenient means of prepaying commission fees associated with money transfers and other financial services, ensuring the efficient operation of postal commission services.

They represent an aspect of the postal system geared toward facilitating financial transactions and supporting the broader infrastructure of postal services in Italy during the early 20th century.
