Argentina | 1957


Country/Region: Argentina
Year: 1957
Occupancy: Spanish (1542-1816)

Trivia

By the look and feel of it, this seems to be a slightly old stamp. It is also supported by the fact that it is of a smaller denomination (2 Peso) which means that Peso wouldn't have been so devalued. 'Official' is not misprinted but is written in Spanish as 'Oficial'. S probably means Senior. Esteban Echeverria (1805-1851) was an Argentine poet, fiction writer & a political activist. He was one of the most prominent romantic authors of Latin America. Philatelia shows it to belong to 1957.

  3. Thanks for visiting Anupama. Do you also collect stamps?
    I am planning to put up one stamp a day, just settling in and mustering some courage to be able to do so!

    Will visit your blog for sure. :)
