I believe that is what is called offset. It happens when a sheet still wet with ink is placed on another sheet causing an additional image of the stamp on the receiving sheet.
It may be an offset, but the image on top of the main stamp is a different image than the stamp. It is also inverted. Could this have been an overprint that was intended as a security feature? If it is a printing error, then it could be printer's waste. This is just observation on my part.
It's a telegraph stamp, so I don't know if it's from Spain of one of the colonies (Cuba, Puerto Rico, Philippines).

If this had been an offset one of the images would have been reversed.
The two designs both appear to be Spanish postage stamps: the 10c from the 1879 set and the 15c from the 1882 set.
Thank you i find it interesting . It has no value at all ? Just nice to have
It will depend if anyone wants it. Printer's waste is different, and someone may want to add the oddity to their collection. If you want to sell it, put a dollar on it and see.

With nearly eight billion people rolling around on this
stricken planet there are likely a few people interested
in almost anything, even Covid-19 spores.
The thing is if you want to find its value, as Michael
wrote, put it in the auction or search out other people
by a short description in, or on, your Google machine.

These are relatively common with Spain & Colonies stamps
Specialized cat lists them but no values
They are termed "Sellos Maculatura" - wastepaper stamps
They were printed by the Fabrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre in Madrid, Spain, on stamps
issued between 1872 - 1889. They are generally imperforated, perfed examples are probably private ones
They can be double or triple images including inverts
