As new stocks had
still not arrived from Spain, it was again
necessary to re-validate the remaining stocks of stamps at hand, by
overprinting them "HABILITADO POR LA NACION" in black.
STAMP ISSUES OF 1854 OVERPRINTED "HABILITADO
POR LA NACION"
5-cuartos orange issue of February 1, 1854. (Edifil #20A)
1-real slate blue issue of February 1, 1854. (Scott #25; SG #52 Edifil #20B)
2-reales green issue of February 1, 1854. (Scott #25A; Edifil #20C)
Note:
The Stanley Gibbons Catalogue indicates that the stamps were issued in
January 1874. A used single of the 1-real was offered in a 1979 auction by Filatelia Hobby, Madrid, with a circular date
cancel of "August 1869". A mint copy of the 5-cuartos and 2-reales
1854 issue, both with Graus Certificates, were
offered for sale by Filatelica Llach
in 1988.
