Brazil Instruccao 2000 Reis

Brazil · 1894 · 2000 Reis

The stamp features the Brazilian national emblem, a star with a central globe and coffee/tobacco branches, surrounded by text 'BRASIL' and 'INSTRUCCAO'. The denomination '2000 REIS' is at the bottom.

These 'Instruccao' stamps were revenue stamps used for postal instruction or official mail in Brazil during the late 19th century, reflecting the administrative needs of the newly established Republic.
