Vanguard of the Fleet

Description: The stamp features an engraved design in a distinct deep violet hue, focusing heavily on the bust of a Romanian military sailor facing slightly right. He is depicted in full uniform, including a traditional striped seaman's undershirt and a standard naval cap bearing the inscription "MARINA" on the tally band beneath a five-pointed star emblem. A bayonet attached to a service rifle is positioned vertically on the left side of the frame behind his shoulder, reinforcing the theme of defensive readiness. The upper left corner displays the face value "1 LEU", and the design is framed firmly across the bottom by the inscription "R.P. ROMINA POSTA," marking the postal authority of the post-war Republica Populară Romînă.

Circa: 1955

Condition: Used - Hinged
