Argentina · 1864 · 15 Centavos

This classic stamp features a portrait of Bernardino Rivadavia, the first president of Argentina. The design is notable for its simple, unadorned style, typical of early stamp issues, and is printed in a distinct shade of blue. As an imperforate stamp, it had to be cut from the sheet with scissors.

Issued in 1864, this stamp is part of the second definitive series of Argentina, known as the 'Rivadavia' issue. These were the first stamps to bear the name of the 'Republica Argentina' following the country's unification.
