China 1941 Sun Yat-sen 2 Jiao Guangdong Overprint

China · 1941 · 2 Jiao

This stamp features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China, with an overprint in Chinese characters for 'Guangdong' and 'For use within the province only' on its 2 Jiao denomination.

Issued in 1941 during the Second Sino-Japanese War, this provincial overprint reflects the fragmented administration and currency instability of China, restricting its postal validity to Guangdong province.
