Argentina 15 Centavos Stamp - Ganaderia (Cattle)

This item is a used postage stamp from Argentina, denominated at 15 Centavos. The stamp features a central design depicting a bovidae head, likely a bull or cow, rendered in a detailed, almost heraldic style, with 'GANADERIA' (meaning 'Cattle Farming' or 'Livestock') visible above the animal's head, indicating the thematic focus of the stamp. The stamp is predominantly light blue and white, with black ink cancellation marks obscuring parts of the central image and text. The top border of the stamp reads 'REPUBLICA ARGENTINA' in capital letters, signifying its country of origin. The denomination '15' appears in both bottom corners, with 'CENTAVOS' printed between them. The stamp has perforated edges, typical of postage stamps, indicating it was separated from a sheet. Visible condition issues include heavy cancellation marks across the central design, discoloration or aging of the paper, particularly around the edges, and minor creasing or wear. The perforations appear largely intact, though some may be slightly blunted or damaged due to handling. The design elements, including the spiral motifs in the upper corners and the framing around the central image, suggest a classic philatelic style, potentially from the mid-20th century. The quality of printing appears standard for its period, with clear lines and decent registration. Despite the cancellation, the overall imagery and text are discernible.
