China 1912 $2 claret and yellow Statistical Department Republic overprint, SG205.

A very fine lower right corner block of four with sheet number '240’. Original gum, slight adhesions from tissue backing paper in margin, which does not detract from overall exceptional quality.

On 10 October 1911 a revolution began in Wuchang. Whilst awaiting the course of events, post offices in some cities overprinted imperial stamps with 'Provisional Neutrality'.

On 15 February 1912, Yuan Shih-kai was elected provisional president of the Chinese Republic. On 11 December 1915 he was elected Emperor, but in face of revolts he revoked the monarchy on 22 March 1916.
