U.S. Postage Five Cents Kosciuszko 1783-1933 Stamp

This item is a United States postage stamp, colored in a monochromatic blue hue, with a white background and white text. The stamp features a portrait of Tadeusz Koœciuszko, a Polish military engineer and general who fought in the American Revolutionary War. He is depicted standing in a military uniform, holding a sword or cane. The stamp has a classic rectangular shape with perforated edges, indicating it was torn from a sheet. The top of the stamp reads 'U.S. POSTAGE' and 'FIVE CENTS' in capital letters. Below this, separated by an ornate scroll design, is 'KOœCIUSZKO' followed by the dates '1783' and '1933'. These dates suggest a commemorative issue, likely marking the 150th anniversary of a significant event related to Koœciuszko's involvement in the American Revolution. In the bottom left corner, enclosed in a circular motif, is the denomination '5¢'. To the right of the value, a small landscape featuring trees is visible. The overall condition appears to be good, with no visible tears or major creases; however, the perforations show some minor wear consistent with handling and removal from a sheet. The print quality is clear, and the details of the portrait and text are well-defined. This stamp belongs to the commemorative stamp series and likely dates to 1933.
