Coat of Arms of Colombia, 5 Centavos Green

Name: Coat of Arms of Colombia, 5 Centavos Green
Brand: Colombia

Colombia · 1870 · 5 Centavos

This stamp features the national Coat of Arms of Colombia, a design used on several early issues. The central element is an Andean condor holding an olive crown, perched atop a shield that depicts pomegranates, a Phrygian cap, and the Isthmus of Panama. The denomination 'CINCO CENTAVOS' is inscribed below the shield.

Issued in 1870, this stamp belongs to a period of political stability under the United States of Colombia (1863-1886). The design reflects the nation's republican ideals and natural wealth, common themes in 19th-century Latin American philately.
