Thailand · 1887 · 4 Atts
This stamp is part of Thailand's (Siam's) second definitive series, featuring a left-facing portrait of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). This specific example displays a well-known constant plate variety known as "น ติด ย" (N Tit Y), where a line connects two characters in the top inscription. The design is framed by an ornate border with the denomination in Thai numerals.
Issued during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, a period of significant modernization and reform in Siam, this series replaced the first issue and was printed by De La Rue in London.
