Chilean 10 Centavos Postal Stamp (Used)

This item is a used Chilean postal stamp, featuring a sepia or brownish-orange tone. The stamp is rectangular with perforated edges, indicating a standard postal issue. The central design is difficult to discern due to blurring and the cancellation mark, but appears to be an engraved portrait or allegorical figure. The top border of the stamp contains text, partially visible as "SEN CEREAL", suggesting a historical or national theme related to agriculture or a significant figure. A prominent black circular cancellation mark, possibly a postmark, covers a significant portion of the stamp, particularly over the center design and extending towards the upper left. This cancellation mark has a date or code within it, though it's illegible due to the image quality. At the bottom left, the denomination "10" is clearly visible in a lighter tone against the stamp's background. To its right, in smaller text, are the words "CORREOS DE CHILE" (Post of Chile) and "CENTAVOS", confirming its origin and value. The stamp appears to be mounted on a white, possibly album page, with remnants of perforations visible on its right edge. The overall condition suggests typical wear for a used postal stamp, with the cancellation being the most significant alteration. No visible tears, creases, or major damage are apparent beyond the blurriness of the image itself.
