1981 Spain Exporta Citrus Fruits (Agrios) 6 Peseta Postage Stamp
This is a horizontal postage stamp from Spain, part of the 'España Exporta' (Spain Exports) definitive series, specifically issued in 1981. The stamp features a denomination of 6 PTA (Pesetas) in the upper-left corner. The primary illustration is a vibrant, graphic depiction of citrus fruits (Agrios), including oranges, lemons, and grapefruits, set against a dark grey or charcoal background. The styling is characteristic of early 1980s graphic design, utilizing clean lines and bright, contrasting colors like orange, yellow, and lime green. The text 'AGRIOS' is printed in the upper right, and 'ESPANA' is located at the lower right. Small text at the bottom left reads 'F.N.M.T.', indicating it was printed by the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre. The stamp is shown affixed to paper, featuring standard perforated edges and a visible black circular date stamp (cancellation mark) that partially obscures the central illustration. The condition appears to be 'used' with centered/regular perforations, though the top-left corner of the envelope/paper it is attached to is heavily torn. The printing method is rotogravure, which allows for the smooth color transitions seen in the fruit. This particular series was designed to promote Spanish agricultural and industrial exports globally.
