Switzerland 1915 Walter Tell 3 Cts Overprint
Switzerland · 1915 · 3 Cts
A definitive stamp from Switzerland featuring a depiction of Walter Tell with a crossbow, overprinted in black with a new denomination of '3 Cts' over the original '2 Cts'.
This overprinted stamp likely reflects a change in postal rates in Switzerland in 1915, temporarily adjusting the face value of existing definitive issues during World War I.
