Description: This definitive postage stamp from Portugal features an artistic, mid-century interpretation of a medieval knight in full armor riding a caparisoned horse. The dynamic illustration displays the rider holding an upright sword in one hand while steadying a shield emblazoned with a royal crest in the other. A distinct Portuguese heraldic cross anchors the upper-left corner, balanced symmetrically by two decorative stars framing the right and lower fields of the inner design. The country name "PORTUGAL" is printed in clean, all-capital sans-serif block text along the bottom margin, while the face value 20 is positioned in the upper-right corner.
