Republic of China Sun Yat-sen Guangdong Overprint
Republic of China · 1941 · 2 fen
A definitive stamp featuring a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, originally denominated 10 fen, overprinted in Chinese characters for 'Guangdong' and re-denominated to 2 fen.
This stamp is part of a series honoring Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China. The Guangdong overprint indicates a regional re-denomination, likely due to local currency changes or wartime conditions during the Sino-Japanese War.
