Cuba 1899 Special Delivery (Spelling Error)

Cuba · 1899 · 10 centavos

This 10 centavos Cuban special delivery stamp features the national coat of arms and the inscription 'ENTREGA ESPECIAL IMMEDIATA'. It is notable for the spelling error 'IMMEDIATA' instead of 'INMEDIATA'.

Printed in the US for Cuba shortly after the Spanish-American War, this stamp represents an early postal service issue for independent Cuba, marked by a significant spelling error that was later corrected in 1902.
