This Portuguese India postage due stamp features D. Francisco de Almeida, the first Portuguese Viceroy of India and a key figure in early colonial maritime history. Originally part of a definitive series, the stamp was later overprinted “Porteado – 2 tangas 1”, indicating its use for collecting insufficient postage fees. Such surcharge and overprint issues are highly collectible due to their limited administrative usage and transitional postal history significance. The bold black overprint contrasts with the sepia portrait design, making it a distinctive Estado da Índia fiscal-postal item. A notable addition for collectors specializing in colonial India, Portuguese territories, or postage due material.
