Stamp Description
This stamp was issued in 1960. It is part of a set covering archeological excavations at Tiahuanacu. Cool stamp. Notice how the stamp originally was 5 Bolivianos, and it was later overprinted with a new surcharge of 5,000 Bolivianos. I guess that is hyperinflation. Information about this stamp comes from the aforementioned stamp catalog.
These stamps were issued in 1955. I like how you see the same images in different shades of color. These stamps were made locally in La Paz, Bolivia. I mention this because of the next set of stamps. Information about the stamps comes from the aforementioned stamp catalog.
These stamps were issued in 1943. These stamps were made in London, UK. I like their engraved appearance. Information about the stamps comes from the aforementioned stamp catalog.
These stamps were issued in 1939. I like tha animals, particularly the toucan. Information about the stamps comes from the aforementioned stamp catalog.
