Peru 1949 Habilitada Overprint
Peru · 1949 · 10c
The stamp features a portrait of a historical figure, originally issued in 1938, overprinted in black with 'Habilitada' and a new denomination of '10c' on the original '25c' value.
This is a provisional issue from Peru in 1949, created by overprinting an earlier 1938 definitive stamp. The 'Habilitada' overprint likely indicates a change in postal rates or a temporary measure to revalidate existing stock.
