Issued on 'loops' watermarked paper. As this issue was in use simultaneously in Cuba and Puerto Rico as well as the Philippines, proof of usage in the Philippines is only distinguishable by appropriate Philippine postal or fiscal cancellations. Counterfeit Philippine cancellations similar to the genuine ones in use at this time are known.
