Ceres, 1000 Reis, Blue
Portugal · 1912 · 1000 Reis
This stamp features an allegorical depiction of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, and fertility. The design, created by Constantino de Sobral Fernandes, was part of the first definitive series issued by the First Portuguese Republic, symbolizing the nation's agricultural wealth and a break from monarchical imagery.
Issued shortly after the 1910 revolution that established the First Portuguese Republic, the Ceres series replaced stamps bearing the king's portrait, marking a significant political and symbolic shift for the nation.
