Taiwan · 1949 · 10 圓

The stamp features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China, facing left. The denomination '10 圓' is printed at the bottom, with '限臺灣貼用' (For Use in Taiwan Only) surcharged over the original design.

This surcharge stamp was issued by the Republic of China for exclusive use in Taiwan, reflecting the complex political and economic transitions following the Chinese Civil War and the ROC government's relocation to the island. The surcharge likely indicates a change in postal rates or currency during a period of instability.
