Mozambique · 1911 · 50 Réis

This is an unused piece of postal stationery, specifically a letter card, from Mozambique. The design features a pre-printed 50 Réis stamp indicium which has been overprinted with the word 'REPUBLICA' in red. This overprint signifies the political change from a monarchy to a republic.

Following the 5 October 1910 revolution in Portugal, which overthrew the monarchy and established the First Portuguese Republic, existing stamps and postal stationery in its colonies, including Mozambique, were overprinted 'REPUBLICA' to reflect the new government.
