Spanish 3 Pesetas King Juan Carlos I Postage Stamp

This is a vertical rectangular postage stamp from Spain featuring the portrait of King Juan Carlos I. The stamp is printed on paper with standard perforations on all four sides. The color palette consists of multi-color lithography, primarily featuring flesh tones for the portrait, a blue military-style uniform, and a muted green/gray background. The upper left corner displays a gold-colored Spanish royal crown, while the word 'CORREOS' is printed vertically along the left edge. The bottom section clearly indicates the denomination '3 PTA' on the left and the country name 'ESPAÑA' in bold white uppercase letters. Below the country name, the small initials 'F.N.M.T.' are visible, representing the 'Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre,' the Spanish national mint. The stamp shows a visible circular postal cancellation mark (postmark) over the left side of the king's face, indicating it has been through the mailing system. The centering of the design within the perforations appears slightly off-balance toward the top and left. Condition-wise, the stamp shows minor wear to the outer perforations and light surface scuffing consistent with a 'used' philatelic specimen. This particular design was part of the common definitive series issued during the late 1970s following the king's accession to the throne in 1975.
