Venezuela 1863-64 Coat of Arms, 1/2 Real Yellow

Venezuela · 1863 · 1/2 Real

This classic stamp features the national Coat of Arms of Venezuela, a design element common on the country's early issues. The central design is framed by an oval, with the denomination 'MEDIO REAL' inscribed at the bottom and 'VENEZUELA' at the top. The bright yellow color is characteristic of this particular value in the series.

Issued during a period of political transition following the Federal War, these stamps represent the establishment of the United States of Venezuela and were among the first to be lithographed in Caracas.
