1948 Spanish 5 Cents Postage Stamp - Jupiter

A vintage Spanish postage stamp featuring a monochromatic engraved portrait of a classical bearded figure, identified as the Roman god Jupiter. The stamp is printed in olive-brown or sepia tones on paper and exhibits standard rectangular perforations. The word 'ESPAÑA' is prominently displayed in a bold sans-serif block font at the top, while 'CORREOS' and the denomination '5 CENTS' are at the bottom. The central image is flanked by vertical lines that give it a neoclassical architectural feel. This stamp belongs to a definitive series issued by the Spanish National Mint between 1948 and 1949, as indicated by the small printed dates '1848-1949' visible in the lower-left corner commemorating the centenary of Spanish postage stamps. The stamp appears used, featuring a partial black ink cancellation mark on the left side and bottom edge. The condition shows minor wear consistent with postal use, including slightly irregular perforations and some toning or aging of the paper stock. The engraving is moderately detailed, showing fine lines in the hair and beard, demonstrating mid-20th-century philatelic printing quality from the Fabrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre (FNMT).
