Brazil · 1844 · 60 Réis

This stamp is part of Brazil's second issue, known as the "Slanted Numerals" or "Inclinados". The design features a large, italicized numeral "60" as the central element, indicating its face value of 60 réis. The background is composed of fine, intricate engine-turned lathework to prevent forgery.

Issued just one year after the famous "Bull's Eye" stamps, the Slanted Numerals series continued Brazil's pioneering role in philately as the second country in the world to issue nationwide postage stamps.
