Azad Hind 1943 2 Anna 2 Anna+

Experience the rarity of a wartime variant with the 1943 Azad Hind 2 Anna stamp, surcharged with an additional 2 Anna overprint. Issued under Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's Provisional Government of Free India, these overprinted issues reflect the practical adaptations of an administration in exile, where existing stocks were revalued to meet shifting postal needs.
Printed at the Reichsdruckerei in Berlin using photogravure, the base stamp carries the distinctive Azad Hind iconography of resistance and sovereignty, while the bold "+2 Anna" overprint adds a layer of philatelic and historical significance. Such surcharged variants are among the most sought-after by collectors, prized for their scarcity and the story they tell of a government improvising in the shadow of war.
Embedded into an Anka handcrafted wooden watch, this rare overprint becomes a wearable artifact of revolutionary ingenuity, where every detail of ink, paper, and grain speaks of a moment when freedom itself was being printed into history.

USP : A scarce surcharged Azad Hind variant, preserved as a wearable record of revolutionary resolve.
