Spain, 1931 Provisional Government Overprint

Spain · 1931 · 30c

This stamp features a definitive issue of King Alfonso XIII overprinted with the words 'REPÚBLICA ESPAÑOLA' in red ink. The overprint signifies the political transition from monarchy to the Second Spanish Republic. The original underlying stamp is a portrait of the former king.

Issued in 1931, this provisional stamp marks the establishment of the Second Spanish Republic after King Alfonso XIII went into exile. Existing monarchist stamps were quickly overprinted to reflect the new republican government.
