Brazil 1927 Provisory Emission

Brazil · 1927 · 200 Réis

The stamp features a portrait of a historical figure, likely Emperor Pedro II, facing left. 'BRASIL' is at the top, 'CORREIO' at the bottom, and '200 RÉIS' indicates the face value.

This 'Provisory Emission' likely served as a temporary measure to meet postal needs, possibly due to a shortage of existing stamps or a change in postal rates, using a standard definitive design.
