1894 Macau Luis I surch "PROVISORIO" 2a on 10r, used by partial
cds. Hinged. F-VF. According to the article "Macau -2 avos sobre 10
Reis" published in 1944, someone showed up in the state printer
with sheets of Macau Luis I 10r stamps and requested surcharge of
2a on them, claiming it would be used in Timor. After that, this
type of 2a/10r stamp appeared on the Yvert catalogue which claimed
that this stamp was circulating in Timor. However, this stamp never
actually circulated and was a clandestine production. As the
governor of Macau Horta e Costa was a philatelist, he ordered to
detain mails f.w. this stamp and prohibited to cancel it on cover.
However, CTO stamps exist after several years as most people forgot
this order.
1894年澳門路易士一世改值“PROVISORIO”2仙蓋10厘士，銷部分圓形日戳。背貼上品。 按1944年《Macau - 2
avos sobre 10
Reis》一文，曾有人攜同澳門路易士一世10厘士版票至國家印刷廠，並要求加蓋改作2仙，聲稱是於帝汶使用。隨後此款郵票便出現於Yvert目錄中，並聲稱是於帝汶使用，但實質上從未正式流通，為私下加蓋。同為集郵家的澳門總督高士德下令扣留所有貼用此票之信封，並禁止蓋銷。但數年後禁令被人遺忘，故有蓋銷票存世。
