Unable to classify this common (Scott's SC Image Not Found#89) Queen Victoria issue with French overprint. Need history and value of stamp if known.

This might shed some light

They opened a branch in London, England in 1867, so this is possibly a commercial overprint but perhaps someone else has better knowledge.

Yes, it's a commercial overprint.

Here's a nice page with different examples from the bank:
