Brand: China

China · 1941 · 1 Yuan (overprint) on 5 Fen

This stamp features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China. Originally a 5 Fen stamp, it was overprinted in 1941 with 'Guangdong' at the top and 'National Currency One Yuan' at the bottom.

Issued during the Sino-Japanese War, this overprint was a provisional measure by the Guangdong postal administration, likely to address inflation or local postal rate adjustments, reflecting the economic instability of the period.
