The value 15 c was overprinted with 'GOBIERNO $ CONSTITUCIONALISTA' in 1914 (RR).

Some squarish 'GCM' overprints exist on these stamps (on the 1 c lilac, 2 c green, 3 c brown, 5 c orange, 15 c blue and orange and 20 c red and blue; on the 5 c orange and the 15 c blue and orange there also exists a slightly different type of overprint) made in 1915. All these overprints are very rare on these stamps:


(Squarish 'GCM' overprint on 5 c and 20 c)

The values 5 c orange and 15 c also exist with 'G.P.DE M.' overprint in a fancy pattern. This overprint was applied in 1916. This same overprint was also applied together with the squarish 'GCM' and small fancy 'GCM' overprint on the 5 c value. All these stamps are rare (RR).

These stamps exist with overprint 'OFICIAL' to be used as official stamps, example:

Two different kinds of the 'OFFICIAL' overprint exist.

These stamps exist with two different kinds of 'OFICIAL' overprint (issued 1900 and 1910). The 5 P exists with 'G.P.DE M' and 'OFICIAL' overprint (RRR).

I have seen the 50 c and 5 P values with a squarish 'GCM' overprint (this could be bogus):
