Cuba · 1899 · 1c de Peso

This definitive stamp features a black surcharge reading 'UN CENTAVO DE PESO' and 'HABILITADO PARA 1899' applied over a previous Puerto Rican issue. The surcharge was a provisional measure to adapt existing stamp stock for use in Cuba under the new U.S. administration.

Issued during the United States military occupation of Cuba following the Spanish-American War, this stamp represents the transition period before Cuba established its own republic.
