This classic Peruvian stamp features the iconic llama, a symbol of the Andes and national heritage. Issued in 1895, it carries a face value of 5 centavos and is printed in a deep red shade with ornate floral side panels. The top inscription reads “Correos del Perú”, with “Franco” and the denomination boldly displayed. The design reflects Peru’s natural wealth and cultural pride during the late 19th century. Postally used examples, like this one with a clear cancellation, are highly collectible and represent an important phase in Peru’s philatelic history.
