Portugal · 1862 · 5 Reis

This stamp features a profile portrait of King Luis I of Portugal, facing left, set within an ornate oval frame. The country name 'CORREIO' is inscribed at the top, and the denomination '5 REIS' is at the bottom, all within a rectangular design.

Issued during the early years of King Luis I's reign, this stamp is part of Portugal's second definitive series, continuing the tradition of featuring the monarch's portrait. These early issues are foundational to Portuguese philately and represent a period of postal modernization.
