Has anyone a listing for this SG Type F1

or is it a fiscal unless value optd.
Any idea what the dates refer to?

Thanks

SG Part 20 lists these in a separate section as "Fiscal Stamps used for
Postage". You have No F3C.
There is another 1884.1885 handstamp with thinner figures, and other
dates also, as well as several sets in different colours going up to
1897. The higher FVs have CVs of a few pounds, but yours is minimal,
sorry.

The only variety of this stamp listed in "Simplified" is the one
overprinted with a large date, CORREOS, surcharge, and initials of the
Minister of Finance, Seraphin Wither.
