Selada in Spanish means sealed so resalada could mean resealed?

The overprint appears on some stamp issues of Ecuador and Venezuela, primarily due to large scale thefts. I believe it means "re-coined" or "re-issued". The overprint was used to demonetize the stolen stamps, which would NOT have the overprint. Hopefully, I got the story straight.

Thank you both,
I found the overprint in Venezuela, didn't find the stamp so am assuming it is a revenue.
