Republic of China (Taiwan) · 1945 · 3 sen

A Japanese 3 sen stamp, likely featuring an imperial crest, overprinted vertically in black with Chinese characters reading 'Republic of China Taiwan' and 'Provisional Chinese Post'.

This stamp was issued during the immediate post-World War II period when Taiwan was returned to the Republic of China, allowing for the provisional use of existing Japanese postal stationery under the new administration.
