Grand Duke Adolphe, 1890
Luxembourg · 1890 · 10c
This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of Grand Duke Adolphe of Luxembourg. He is depicted in military uniform, a common representation for heads of state during this period. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork, with the country name 'LUXEMBOURG' at the top and the denomination '10 CENTIMES' at the bottom.
