China 10 Cent Sun Yat-sen Overprint
China · 1941 · 10 cent
A brown stamp featuring a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, with a red diagonal overprint of '10 cent' applied over the original '20' denomination.
This overprint likely reflects a change in postal rates or currency during the Second Sino-Japanese War, a period of significant economic and political instability in China.
