May 1867 Emperor Maximilian was captured by troops of Benito Juarez in
Queretaro and executed on June 19.
Between May 1867 to July 1868 Hidalgo issues of 1856 - 1861 were overprinted with "MEXICO" in gothic characters were used for postage. When the stock was exhausted a special issue was made in 1867, printed using the old plates on thin gray blue paper with the "R.P.S." watermark. With very few exceptions, these stamps were used in Mexico D.F. only. The provisional stamps derived from the 1856 - 1861 Hildago issues are known to have been used in ACAPULCO, CORDOBA, GUADALAJARA, JALAPA, LAGOS, MARAUMO, MONTERREY, MORELIA, ORIZAVA and PUEBLA. They are exceedingly rare. The postal rates of 1857 remained in effect during the Provisional Period. |
