I like the orange micro-printing.

Not sure how these were used. Couldn't find anything but the most general information regarding Spain's postal savings practices. The date in the cancellation looks to be 1916, though it could be 1946.

Used to encourage people and children to save.
Postal Savings Office.
Hence, not listed in Forbin.

The crown above the money jar dates it I guess
1916 seems possible.

Here is a later issue the crown has been replaced
by castling.
Not aware of any catalogue that lists these.

Greetings All

I have a 2001 edition of the "Edfil" catalogue for Spain, but, unfortunately, the stamp that Smauggie has posted is not listed in that either.

The only listing I have seen for these puts them at 1918, four different two-color iterations, all four of which are 5c values.
