This video is about rare and valuable postage stamps from Spain. Spaun has great postal history. In 1843, the Spanish provisional government under began to study the British experiment of prepaid postage labels. Finding the British printers Perkins, Bacon and Petch too pricey, they decided to establish their own printer, and on 24 October 1849 Queen Isabella II decreed that Spain would use postage stamps effective 1 January 1850. In December postage rates and regulations were promulgated and the first stamps of Spain were issued on 1 January 1850. There were five stamps in the set with denominations from six cuartos to ten reales in different colors with all of them depicting Queen Isabella II.
They were printed lithographically and issued imperforate. Both thin and thick papers were used, but neither had any watermark. In this video I have briefly reviewed the features of old Spanish stamps.
