Guangdong Overprint, Sun Yat-sen

China · 1941 · 20¢

A 20¢ Chinese stamp featuring a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, overprinted with 'Guangdong' and 'for provincial use only' in large characters.

Issued during the Sino-Japanese War, this provincial overprint restricted the stamp's use to Guangdong province, reflecting regional administrative controls during a period of conflict.
