Gen. Franco of Spain

Mensaje por Rein »

Several definitives of Spain had been issued with the portrait of gen. Franco and you can hardly avoid these stamps when collecting Spain ;)

The earlier issues had been printed in offset-litho by the Royal Spanish Mint - F.N.M.T. (abbreviation for Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre). But the later ones all appeared in photogravure !

We had 4 values issued as follows:

5c in brown red - December 1948
15c in green - 20.05.1948
50c in yellow brown - 23.10.1948 or in reddish brown in 1952
80c in carmine - 06.08.1954

However, we have differences in screen! Either 80 lines per cm or 100!

And that is probably connected with the long period 1948-1955 before this set was superseded by yet another gen. Franco definitives series!
