1870 Cuba Bisect, Havana Provisional

Cuba · 1870 · 5 céntimos de escudo

A bisected 10 céntimos de escudo stamp of Cuba, used as a 5 céntimos stamp within Havana in 1870, featuring the portrait of Queen Isabella II.

This bisected stamp represents a provisional postal measure, where a 10 céntimos stamp was cut in half and used as a 5 céntimos stamp due to a shortage of lower denomination stamps in Havana.
