This classic Paraguayan issue features the national emblem — a proud lion beside a Phrygian cap on a staff, radiating light and symbolizing Paz y Justicia (“Peace and Justice”). Originally printed in 1904, this 10 Centavos deep brown design was later overprinted with 1908 in bold black numerals to mark re-issuance or extended postal use. Such overprints are notable for their transitional postal history, often reflecting administrative or fiscal updates within the early 20th-century Paraguayan postal system. The strong engraving and typographic overprint make it a collectible piece from Paraguay’s definitive era.
