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.

Trivia


This stamp states its value as 50.000 Pesos. With the constant inflation of Peso, the Argentine currency; decimal point kept on changing its placement to devalue the currency. So a 100.00 could become a 1000.00 if the currency was devalued 10 times. Any more information on the stamp and its year would be helpful.

Argentina is the second largest country in South America and one of the largest among the Spanish speaking nations. Argentina has been a land of socioeconomic extremes. Inflation went hand in hand with a 'very high' Human Development Index (HDI) rating. Termed as an emerging economy but has a currency that has been changed and renamed multiple times. Above is a stamp - small letters mean 'Mint of the Nation' and Correo Aereo means 'Air Mail'. Would love to hear more info if you feel like sharing.
