Uruguay Seebeck Issue, Coat of Arms

Name: Uruguay Seebeck Issue, Coat of Arms
Brand: Uruguay

Uruguay · 1892 · 1c

This stamp features the national Coat of Arms of Uruguay, a common motif for definitive issues of the period. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork, with the country's name 'REPUBLICA O. DEL URUGUAY' at the top and the denomination 'UN CENTESIMO' at the bottom.

This is one of the controversial 'Seebeck issues', printed by Nicholas F. Seebeck for several Latin American countries. Under his contract, unsold stamps were demonetized and returned to him, which he then sold to collectors, flooding the market.
