Romania · 1858 · 27 Parale

This 1858 Bull's Head stamp, with a face value of 27 parale, is one of Romania's earliest and most iconic postal issues. It features the distinctive bull's head emblem of Moldavia, a symbol of the region, alongside the denomination and 'PORTO GAZETEI' inscription.

Part of the first postal issue introduced by the Romanian principalities, this stamp represents a crucial step towards Moldova's independence. Its limited mintage of only 6,016 specimens underscores its significance in Romanian philatelic history.
