Cuba 1866 Isabel II Portrait Overprint
Cuba · 1866 ·
This 1866 Cuban stamp features a classic portrait of Queen Isabel II. It is an overprinted version of an earlier 1864 issue, distinguished by the '66' overprint.
The '66' overprint was applied to existing 1864 stamp stock to validate its use for the year 1866, a common practice in the 19th century to extend the usability of older issues.
