Bolivia 1920 Coat of Arms

Bolivia · 1920 · 2 Centavos

This definitive stamp features the national coat of arms of Bolivia, a central element in the country's philatelic history. The design includes Mount Potosí, an alpaca, a sheaf of wheat, and a breadfruit tree, surrounded by Bolivian flags, cannons, and Phrygian caps, all under a condor. The stamp is printed in a distinct orange-brown color.

Issued in 1920, this stamp was part of a definitive series used for everyday postage in Bolivia during a period of post-war recovery and internal political development.
