This Spanish 1 céntimo stamp features a bold central numeral framed by ornate scrollwork and the inscription “Estado Español – Correos.” Printed in a deep green shade, it belongs to the classic low-value definitive series used during the late 19th century, a period marked by multiple provisional and transitional postal issues in Spain. These numeral-type designs were commonly used for basic newspaper or printed-matter rates. The example shown is imperf or cut-to-shape as issued, and bears a clear circular cancellation, characteristic of heavy postal use. Collectors appreciate these early issues for their typography, paper varieties, and numerous postmark types.
