Description: Set of 1911 stamps commemorating the jubilee of Italian kingdom overprinted with a surcharge of 2 c in 1913. 5c Green is symbolic of valour. 10c Red is symbolic of the genius of Italy 15c Grey is symbolic of the glory of Rome 5c green is MVLH while the other two are MNH. Stamps printed to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Union of Italy, and also the Rome-Turin Fair, were issued in 1911. Although these stamps do not indicate it, they were sold with a 2c premium which made them unpopular. As a result there were surplus stocks, so they were overprinted 2c (except for the original 2c value) and issued for the printed matter rate on 1st March 1913. As it happens the rate was increased to 5c on the same day!
