Anjouan

Anjouan is an island between Madagascar and the east African coast.

As a French protectorate, it issued its own stamps in 1892 with stamps inscribed SULTANAT D'ANJOUAN. It also released a surcharged issue in 1912.

Anjouan, and nearby islands Grand Comoro, Moheli and Mayotte became part of Madagascar in 1912. Those islands were then detached and became the Comoros in 1946.
