In 1900, the Chilean postal authorities realised that they had insufficient stocks of 5 centavo stamps, but had a superfluity of the 30 centavo values. They therefore surcharged some of the 30c stock to make temporary 5c stamps. Unfortunately, some of these were printed with the surcharge inverted.
