1977 Spain 5 Pesetas Felipe de Borbon Prince of Asturias Pair with Top Margin

This item consists of a horizontal pair of Spanish postage stamps from 1977, featuring a portrait of Felipe de Bourbon, Prince of Asturias (later King Felipe VI) as a young boy. The stamps are printed on white paper with a denomination of 5 PTA (Pesetas) clearly visible in the top right corner of each stamp. Each stamp includes a multi-color portrait in the center-left, with the Basílica de Santa María la Real de Covadonga in the background. The text 'Felipe de Borbón Príncipe de Asturias', 'ESPAÑA', and 'CORREOS' is printed at the bottom. This specific piece includes a significant top margin (selvage) featuring part of the inscription 'BON, PRÍNCIPE DE ASTURIAS' in gray uppercase letters. The stamps are perforated on all sides except for the top edge of the margin, which appears to be a straight-cut edge from the original sheet production. The condition appears to be Mint Never Hinged (MNH) or lightly hinged, showing crisp edges, vibrant colors without fading, and no visible mechanical damage to the paper or perforations. The printing quality is high, characteristic of the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre (FNMT), which is the official Spanish state mint and stamp printer.
