Issued by Costa Rica, this 5 Céntimos stamp highlights the nation’s early industrial expansion, depicting a processing factory representing the oils and fats industry (“Aceites y Grasas”). The design reflects mid-20th-century economic modernization themes frequently seen in Latin American industrial series. Printed in Austria (Imprenta Nacional de Austria, Vienna), the stamp is notable for its clean industrial imagery and strong geometric border styling. It forms part of Costa Rica’s “Industrias Nacionales” thematic set, making it appealing for collectors of industry, economic development, and Central American philately. Well-centered examples with clean perforations are particularly sought after in thematic collections.
