Portugal · 1910 · 5 Centavos
A Portuguese fiscal stamp from 1910, originally a 25 Reis monarchical issue, overprinted 'REPUBLICA' and '5 CENTAVOS' after the establishment of the Republic. This specific stamp features a notable printing error where the '5' in '5 CENTAVOS' is inverted and misplaced before the '2' of the original '25 REIS' denomination.
Following the 1910 Republican Revolution in Portugal, existing monarchical fiscal stamps were overprinted to reflect the new political regime and currency changes, often leading to interesting varieties and errors during the rapid transition period.
