Bolivia 1880 Coat of Arms

Bolivia · 1880 · 1 Centavo

This stamp features the Bolivian coat of arms, a common motif in the country's early philatelic issues. The design is centered within an oval frame, surrounded by ornate scrollwork and the country's name, 'CORREOS DE BOLIVIA'. The denomination 'UN CENTAVO' is inscribed at the bottom.

Issued during a period of political and economic transition following the War of the Pacific (1879-1884), this stamp represents Bolivia's continued assertion of national sovereignty through its postal system.
