The 20c. yellow surcharge converted the stamp to a revenue usage as a "GIRO" or draft stamp. As with virtually all of the surcharged stamps, this revenue stamp was pressed into postage and telegraph use.   The yellow surcharge was difficult to both see and read. When the telegraph stamp was subsequently surcharged, it is likely these stamps were thrown into the mix.
