This video is about 100 Most Expensive Rare Old Portuguese Postage Stamps. The first Portugal stamps, for the prepayment of postage on letter mail, were issued during 1853.
In Ancient times, present-day Portugal was part of the Roman Imperial Provinces of Lusitania and Gallaecia. Their later history, with the Gothic and Moorish invasions, roughly paralleled that of their neighbor Spain. Portugal was a major European maritime and colonial power, almost 100 years before the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus. The early postage stamps of Portugal from 1853 had the monarch's head, white and featureless, embossed on a coloured background. The first pictorial issue in 1894 commemorated the 500th anniversary of Henry the Navigator's birth. Vasco da Gama's voyage to India in 1497-1498 was the subject of an 1898 issue. The 1910 King Manoel II definitives stamps were overprinted.
In this video I have discussed the important characteristics of each stamp. The values mentioned are only for the specific stamp shown adjacent to the text.
