This stamp is part of a provisional series created by overprinting existing stamps of King Manuel II with 'REPUBLICA'. The overprint signifies the political transition in Portugal and its colonies. The base stamp features a portrait of King Manuel II, the last king of Portugal.

Issued following the 5 October 1910 revolution in Portugal which overthrew the monarchy and established the First Portuguese Republic. Colonies like Mozambique updated their existing postage to reflect the new political reality.
