This historic Paraguayan stamp features the bold black overprint “HABILITADO 1918” on a 10 centavos brown “Deficiente” issue, originally inscribed Unión Postal Universal. The overprint was applied as a provisional measure during a shortage of valid postage in 1918, making it a notable example of Paraguay’s transitional postal history. The central design displays the national star emblem within a laurel wreath, a patriotic motif of the Republic of Paraguay. Such overprints were issued in limited numbers and are prized for their distinct historical context. A fascinating acquisition for collectors specializing in Latin American philately, provisional issues, or early 20th-century postal adaptations.
