Peruvian Mountain Road Surcharged Stamp
Peru · 1949 · S/. 0.05
The stamp depicts a winding mountain road, possibly in the Andes, with a black horizontal overprint 'HABILITADA' and 'S/. 0.05' at the bottom.
The 'Habilitada' overprint and new value indicate a change in postal rates or a re-purposing of existing stock, suggesting a need to quickly adapt existing stamp issues to new postal requirements in Peru in 1949.
