Mexico 1878 Documentary Revenue Stamp

Mexico · 1878 · 57 centavos

A Mexican documentary revenue stamp from 1878, featuring the national coat of arms with an eagle perched on a cactus, devouring a snake, surrounded by the text 'REPUBLICA MEXICANA' and '57 CENTAVOS', with 'PUEBLA' at the bottom.

Issued in 1878, this stamp served as a tax revenue for official documents within Mexico, specifically designated for the state of Puebla, reflecting the decentralized nature of some tax collection during that period.
