Cordoba 1 Real Blue, First Issue

Argentina (Province of Cordoba) · 1858 · 1 Real

This is the first postage stamp issued by the Province of Cordoba, Argentina. The imperforate design features a primitive depiction of the provincial coat of arms, showing a castle on a hill, within a simple rectangular frame. The denomination 'UNO REAL M.C.' (One Real Moneda Corriente) is inscribed at the bottom.

Issued during a period when Argentine provinces operated their own postal services before the national system was fully consolidated, this stamp is a key piece of early Argentine postal history.
