Ireland 2d Coil Stamp, Inverted Watermark

Ireland · 1935 · 2d

This definitive stamp features a map of Ireland in a deep green color, with the denomination '2d' prominently displayed. It is part of the first definitive series of the Irish Free State, which was in use for many years. This particular stamp is a rare error variety where the 'se' watermark is inverted.

Issued by the Irish Free State, this stamp represents a period of growing national identity following independence. The inverted watermark error makes it one of the most sought-after rarities in Irish philately.
