Brazil Petroleum Oil Derrick 100 Cruzeiros

Brazil · 1953 · 100 Cruzeiros

The stamp features a prominent oil derrick in the foreground, set against a background that appears to be a stylized map or globe. 'BRASIL' is inscribed at the top, with the denomination '100 CRUZEIROS' at the bottom.

Issued in 1953, this stamp likely commemorates the establishment of Petrobras, Brazil's national oil company, or the nation's burgeoning petroleum industry. It reflects Brazil's focus on developing its natural resources during that period.
