Peru 1930 Airmail Surcharge on President Leguía Stamp

Peru · 1930 · 2 Cts. on 50c

A Peruvian airmail stamp featuring a portrait of President Augusto B. Leguía, originally 50c, surcharged in black with 'Habilitada / Franqueo / 2 Cts. / 1930'.

This 1930 surcharge on a stamp featuring President Leguía likely reflects a temporary postal rate adjustment amidst the political turmoil of the year he was overthrown.
