Romania · 1858 · 54 parale

This 54 parale green on blue-green stamp is a key issue from Moldavia's iconic 1858 'Bull's Head' series. It features the traditional Moldavian aurochs head with a star, encircled by the inscription 'PORTO SCRISORI', and is highly sought after by collectors.

As one of the first postal issues of Moldavia, these stamps predate the formation of modern Romania and are crucial artifacts reflecting the region's early efforts in establishing a national postal service and identity.
