Uruguay · 1931 · 2 Centesimos

This set of four souvenir sheets from Uruguay commemorates the 1931 Centenary Philatelic Exhibition. Each sheet features four reproductions of the iconic 1856 'Diligencia' stamp, depicting an allegorical female head with a sunburst design and a '2 Centesimos' denomination, printed in different colors.

The original 1856 'Diligencia' stamp was Uruguay's first postage stamp, issued for use on mail carried by stagecoach. These 1931 souvenir sheets celebrate a century of Uruguayan philately and pay homage to this foundational issue.
