Portugal · 1912 · 10c

This is a parcel post stamp from the First Portuguese Republic. The design is purely typographic, featuring the denomination '10 CENTAVOS' prominently in the center, surrounded by an ornate, decorative frame. The text 'REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA' and 'ENCOMMENDAS POSTAES' (Parcel Post) are inscribed at the top and bottom respectively.

Issued shortly after the 1910 revolution that established the First Portuguese Republic, this stamp reflects the new political era with its prominent 'Republica' inscription, replacing monarchical symbols.
