Many countries used such a hole punch for stamps used on telegraph forms. But again, please, help us help you by posting clear scans. These thumbnails you are posting do not show any detail. The cancel is unreadable.
It might as well have been that someone stuck the cover on a pin.
These holes were to prevent the use of the stamp(s) again. It was mostly done in the higher value stamps. I believe that for a period of time high value stamps that were send abroad had to be punched. Often found on parcel cards(not the correct english term I believe, but I cannot remember properly)
