Peru 2019 Bicentennial: Angulo Brothers and Manco Inca

Peru · 2019 · S/ 6.50 (each stamp)

This set of two stamps commemorates the Bicentennial of Peru's Independence, featuring two pivotal historical subjects. One stamp depicts 'Los Hermanos Angulo' (The Angulo Brothers), three figures crucial to the Cusco Rebellion, while the other portrays 'Manco Inca', an iconic Inca ruler who resisted Spanish conquest.

The Angulo Brothers were leaders of the 1814 Cusco Rebellion, a significant precursor to Peruvian independence. Manco Inca led a major indigenous rebellion against the Spanish in the 16th century, symbolizing early resistance and sovereignty, making both figures relevant to the broader narrative of Peruvian nationhood celebrated during the bicentennial.
