This striking 1904 Paraguayan official issue features the nation’s emblematic lion and liberty cap, originally printed as a 5 centavos Oficial stamp. A bold “Habilitado” overprint converts the stamp for regular postal use, with the original value barred out—an interesting example of administrative reuse common in early 20th-century Paraguay. The crisp typography and teal-blue engraving give it strong visual appeal. Overprinted provisionals like this are prized for their historical context, variations, and lower print quantities.
