Revenue stamps of Mexico
Many postage and revenue stamps of Mexico bear a district overprint. The stamps were issued on consignment and sent to a district. The local tax office would by requirement of the main Mexican tax office, hand stamp the fiscal district name on all revenue stamps sent. The postal and fiscal districts were different.
