Brazil 5 Reis Consular Revenue Stamp

Brazil · 1906 · 5 Reis

The stamp features a central circular emblem, likely the Brazilian coat of arms or national seal, surrounded by an ornate frame. 'BRAZIL' is inscribed at the top and '5 REIS' at the bottom.

This is a consular revenue stamp, used to pay fees for consular services rather than for postage. Its use in 1906 reflects the administrative practices of the Brazilian government at the time.
