A postal forgery exists of the 20 c value. It is described in 'Postal Forgeries of the World' by H.G.L. Fletcher. It is printed in greyish green instead of lilac. The small castle in the upper left top corner is different from the genuine stamp.
I've also seen many philatelic forgeries, examples:
Forgery with a numeral "4" cancel. See also: Spain forgeries made by 'Forger A'
(Segui forgeries of the 2 c, 10 cen, 12 c
and 19 c values)
Fournier forgeries from a Fournier Album.
I've seen imperforate Segui forgeries of the values 2c, 12 c, 10 c and 20 c.
(Front and backside of a Sperati forgery of the 19 c value)
Dot just beside the shading lines at the level of the foot of the
lion.
The above forgery of the 19 c was made by Sperati. There is a break in the ornament in the lower right corner in these forgeries. There is also a dot in the shading lines level with the foot of the lion (see image above). Sperati used genuine stamps from which he removed the image to create the above forgeries. Therefore the cancels and paper are genuine.

I've been told that this is a forgery:
Another primitive forgery of the 2 c 1864 value. Next to it a
1866 perforated 20 c forgery of the same forger.

The remainders of these stamps were sold to dealers, they were
surcharged with three horizontal bars:
In 1868/69 some of these stamps were overprinted "HABILITADO POR LA NACION", example:
Example of a 'Habilitado' overprint
This overprint exists in 2 official types. Besides that, there are many 'local' overprints of a private or fiscal character. All these overprints are rare to extremely rare. A complete overview can be found at: 1868 'Habilitado' overprints.
For forgeries (both postal and philatelic) of the 1867 issue, click here.
These fiscal stamps are not very common.
In this design exist: 1 P brown, 2 P red and 5 P blue. Other fiscal stamps with Queen Isabella with inscription "DERECHOS DE FIRMA" exist for the Philippines.
