"Commercial" perforation.
Many companies used this kind of perfins
AG may stand for "Agence Generale (de librairie et publication)"
(EIPA is not a commercial perforation,and is not common at all)

Perfins will usually be worth less, except to a perfin collector. In this case, the stamp is in poor condition, so financial value will be minimal.

The two air-mail stamps issued in 1930 (aircraft over Marseilles) were perforated EIPA 30 at the International Aero-Philatelic Exhibition in Paris. Air 5A and 6A in Maury.

Cursory look at Perf12's links,
I had read EIPA 20, not seeing the perfin was inverted.

PERFIN = Perforated Initials
Punctured stamps by (usually) larger companies, to prevent unauthorised personal use by members of staff, or theft prevention.

The Initials indicate the company.
