This is a 2 centavos red stamp issued for the Philippine Islands under United States administration, featuring Dr. José Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. It bears a bold “O.B.” (Official Business) and “COMMONWEALTH” overprint, denoting official government use during the Philippine Commonwealth period (1935–1946). Such overprinted issues are historically significant, reflecting the transition from U.S. territorial rule to self-government. Well-centered examples with clean overprints are sought after by specialists in Philippine and U.S. territorial postal history.
