China 1940 3c Kansu Overprint

China · 1940 · 3 cents

A 3-cent stamp from China featuring a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, overprinted with 'Kansu' in Chinese characters.

Issued in 1940, this stamp is an overprint on a definitive issue, likely used to re-denominate or restrict the stamp's use to the Kansu province during a period of wartime and administrative changes in China.
