Italy · 1920 · 15c

This definitive stamp, part of the 'Leoni' (Lions) series, features a powerful allegorical design. It depicts a lion's head, symbolizing strength and royalty, set within an ornate frame. The denomination 'CENT. 15' is prominently displayed at the bottom, with 'POSTE ITALIANE' inscribed above.

Issued in the aftermath of World War I, this series replaced the wartime surcharged stamps and represented a return to stability and national pride for the Kingdom of Italy under King Victor Emmanuel III.
