Brand: Portugal

Portugal · 1912 · 10c (Centavos)

This stamp features the classic 'Ceres' design, an allegorical representation of the Roman goddess of agriculture, symbolizing the Portuguese Republic's prosperity. It is part of the first definitive series of the Republic, overprinted with "REPUBLICA" in red on the previous monarchical issue.

Issued shortly after the 1910 revolution that established the First Portuguese Republic, these overprinted stamps were a provisional measure to update existing monarchist-era postage.
