Greece · 1901 · 25 Lepta

This definitive stamp features a classic design of the head of Hermes, the messenger god in Greek mythology, facing right. The design is based on the very first stamps of Greece from 1861, known as the "Large Hermes Heads." This issue is part of a series that continued the iconic national symbol on Greek postage.

Issued in 1901, this stamp belongs to the "Small Hermes Head" series, a continuation of Greece's longest-running definitive stamp theme. These stamps were in use during a period of national consolidation and modernization for the Kingdom of Greece.
