Albania 1914 10q Carmine & Black, Double-Headed Eagle

Albania · 1914 · 10 Qintar

This definitive stamp features the double-headed eagle, the national symbol of Albania, rendered in black. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork, with the denomination '10 QINTAR' at the bottom and 'SHQIPËNIË' (Albania) at the top, all printed in carmine.

Issued in 1914, this stamp belongs to the second definitive series of the newly independent Principality of Albania, reflecting the nation's efforts to establish its own postal system and national identity after centuries of Ottoman rule.
