Peru 1936 Surcharged 10 Centavos on 20 Centavos
Peru · 1936 · S./ 0.10 Cts. on 20 Cts.
The stamp features a portrait of a historical figure, originally a 20 Centavos definitive issue, surcharged vertically in black with 'Habilitado / S./ 0.10 Cts.'.
This surcharged stamp from 1936 indicates a provisional issue, likely due to a change in postal rates or a temporary shortage of stamps of the new 10 Centavos denomination in Peru.
