Surcharged 2 Centavos on 4 Centavos Blue-Green

Peru · 1936 · 2c on 4c

A blue-green definitive stamp featuring a portrait of a historical figure, surcharged vertically in black with 'Habilitado / S. 0.02 Cts.'.

This provisional issue, indicated by the 'Habilitado' surcharge, was likely issued in 1936 to meet a specific postal rate requirement or to address a shortage of stamps of the 2 Centavos denomination in Peru.
