Bulgarian 1 Leva Postage Stamp with Tsar Boris III
This item is a postage stamp, likely from Bulgaria, featuring a portrait of a male figure in profile, facing left. The stamp is predominantly green in color, with the central portrait rendered in a lighter green shade against a slightly darker green background. The inscription at the top, in Cyrillic script, clearly reads "БЪЛГАРИЯ" (Bulgaria). At the bottom, the denomination "1 ЛЕВА" (1 Leva) is visible, flanked by the numeral "1" on each side. The portrait appears to be of Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria, a common subject for Bulgarian stamps from the early to mid-20th century. The stamp exhibits a typical perforated edge, suggesting it was part of a larger sheet. The overall condition appears to be good, with no overt tears, creases, or major discoloration visible, though a subtle, perhaps faded, purple ink mark is present on the left side of the stamp, possibly indicating a postmark or cancellation. The paper appears to be of standard weight for postage stamps. The design elements, including the detailed portrait and decorative borders, suggest a level of craftsmanship consistent with national postal issues of its presumed era. The visible details indicate it is a genuine postage stamp, circulated or intended for circulation.
