Provisional Issue of 1897

Handstamped on 1883 Issue

(Type I)

(Type II)

Handstamped "1º Semestre/1897". Two handstamps were used. Type I shows the "1" of "1897" to be to the left of the "S" in "Semestre" and is 2mm beneath it. The Type II handstamp shows the "1" to be under the "S" and 5.5mm beneath it. The handstamp is usually in violet.

Handstamped on 1892 Issue

(Type A)

(Type B)

(Type C)

All values were handstamped with the same handstamps as used on the 1883 Issue (Type I and II). Further, those issues that were surcharged show the use of three handstamps to do the surcharging. Type A has a distance of 5mm between the lines. Type B has a distance of 6mm between the lines and Type C has a distance of 4mm between the lines. The designation of Type I and II as well as A, B, and C are arbitrary and do not imply order of use. The overprinting as well as the surcharging is usually in violet.
