Brazil · 1930 · 200 Réis
This provisional stamp features a black overprint on a definitive stamp from the 1920-29 series. The overprint reads "GOVERNO / PROVISORIO" (Provisional Government) and was applied to existing stamp stock. The underlying stamp depicts a symbolic figure of the Republic.
Issued in the immediate aftermath of the Brazilian Revolution of 1930, which brought Getúlio Vargas to power and ended the Old Republic. These overprints were a quick way to legitimize the new regime's postal authority.
