Portugal Ceres, Blue, 1c
Portugal · 1912 · 1c (Centavo)
This definitive stamp features a portrait of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility, and motherly relationships. The design, created by Constantino de Sobral Fernandes, was intended to symbolize the fertility of the new Portuguese Republic. The stamp is typographed and has a face value of 1 Centavo.
Issued shortly after the 1910 revolution that established the First Portuguese Republic, the Ceres series replaced stamps bearing the image of the deposed monarchy. This series became an iconic and long-running definitive issue for Portugal.
