Description: This definitive postage stamp from Spain (España) features a left-facing profile portrait of General Francisco Franco, positioned adjacent to the national coat of arms of the Francoist regime. The intricate heraldic emblem showcases the Eagle of Saint John supporting a shield layered with the historical symbols of Castile, León, Aragon, Navarre, and Granada, topped by the motto "UNA GRANDE LIBRE" on a billowing ribbon. Rendered in a deep slate grey hue, the top border contains the bold designations "ESPAÑA / CORREOS". The bottom right corner frames the face value denomination of 40 Céntimos (40 CTS). A circular black ink postal cancel bearing partial date markings cuts through the upper portion of Franco's portrait, proving its successful processing through the Spanish domestic mail system.
