Peru · 1858 · 1 Dinero

This stamp, the second issue of Peru, features the national Coat of Arms at its center, flanked by branches of palm and laurel. The design is simple and classic, with the denomination 'UN DINERO' inscribed below the central emblem and 'PORTE FRANCO' above, indicating postage has been paid.

Issued in 1858, this stamp followed Peru's first issue from the previous year. It was part of the first definitive series used for domestic postage within the country during a period of political stability under President Ramón Castilla.
