Portugal - Horta 1892-93 King Carlos I Overprinted 'HORTA'
Portugal · 1892 · 5 Reis
This definitive stamp features a portrait of King Carlos I of Portugal. It is part of a series originally issued for Portugal that was later overprinted in black with the word 'HORTA' for use in the Azores district of Horta.
These overprinted issues were common in the Portuguese territories, including the Azores and Madeira, to validate existing stamp stocks for local use.
