The commemorative postal issue to the centenary of the birth of Archbishop Fernando Arturo de Merino, is considered as one of the most beautiful series issued by the Dominican Republic, due to the refined design and printing work.
In the year 1934, several seals of this series were overloaded to be used for other purposes. It started with the Decree No. 1136, dated December 19 of that year, authorizing overloading: 150,000 seals of 7 cents; 20,000 of 8 cents; 115,000 of 10 cents; 20,000 of 20 cents; and 15,000 of 50 cents. The same They would be used for the newly created Declared Securities service.
Then in Ana 1935, by Decree N2 1410 of October 11 of that Ana, it was authorized to overload 150,000 seals of 2 and 7 cents, for the payment of a tax of 1 0 cents for "Public Service", applied to electric energy and drinking water bills.
In 1939 by Decree No. 489 of December 12 of that year, 75,000 seals were ordered to be overloaded of Y, and 7 cents, for the use of the Declared Values #8203;#8203;service.
These successive overloads caused the 2-cent seal to be very scarce, especially in condition again, justifying the high value of this series.
Seals with the "SPECIMEN" overload are also known, in color
