Indonesia Revolution Overprint on Netherlands Indies Stamp

Indonesia · 1946 · 10s

This stamp is an overprint on a definitive issue of the Netherlands Indies. The original stamp, featuring a numeral design, was modified with a black 'Repoeblik Indonesia' overprint during the Indonesian National Revolution. This provisional issue served the postal needs of the newly declared republic in areas under its control.

Issued during the Indonesian National Revolution (1945-1949), these overprinted stamps represent the assertion of sovereignty and the establishment of an independent postal system by the fledgling Republic of Indonesia.
