This is a U.S. Administration in the Philippines overprint stamp with an unusual twist — it’s a Guam Guard Mail issue.
The original stamp is a 2 centavos green stamp issued by the Philippine Islands (under U.S. administration). It features a portrait of José Rizal (Filipino nationalist and martyr).
Guam became a U.S. possession in 1898 after the Spanish-American War. Mail to and from Guam had long relied on infrequent transport via ships from the Philippines or Hawaii. In 1930, Governor Willis W. Bradley created the Guam Guard Mail to provide regular inter-island and U.S.-bound mail service. The service only lasted a year because the U.S. Post Office Department took over in 1931.
