Thailand 1890 1 Att on 3 Atts Surcharge

Name: Thailand 1890 1 Att on 3 Atts Surcharge
Brand: Thailand

Thailand · 1890 · 1 Att on 3 Atts

This stamp is a surcharge from the second definitive series of Siam (now Thailand). The original 3 Atts green and blue stamp, featuring a portrait of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), was overprinted in black with a new value of 1 Att. This was done to meet postal demand for the lower denomination.

Issued during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, this surcharged stamp reflects a period of significant modernization and postal reform in Siam, adapting existing stamp stocks to meet changing needs.
