BLACK 2 REALES on 2-4/8c ULTRAMARINE
1882 KING ALFONSO XII POSTAGE FIRST ISSUE

Issued on June, 1883
Scott #94
Surcharge on Scott #78
Until the last few years it was believed the
2 Reales surcharge was applied only to the
2-4/8c issue of 1882. The stamps shown
in this exhibit were instrumental in proving
the surcharge was also genuinely applied
to both the 1883 First Retouched
and 1886 Second Re-touch issues.
