Issued by the Companhia de Moçambique, this 1 centavo stamp portrays the agricultural richness of colonial Mozambique under Portuguese administration. The central vignette depicts workers in a vast maize (milho) field, with an ox-drawn cart symbolizing traditional farming methods. The intricate green frame features detailed maize ears on both sides, highlighting the crop’s economic importance. Printed in the early 20th century, this design reflects the colonial-era focus on plantation agriculture and trade. A fine example of Mozambique Company issues prized for their craftsmanship and historical context.
