This 5-peseta definitive stamp from Spain features the coat of arms of Gran Canaria, part of the long-running provincial arms series issued by Correos in the mid-20th century.
The design displays a crowned shield divided into heraldic quarters, including the iconic castle, rampant lion, and island tower flanked by palms, symbolizing the island’s historical and geographical identity.
Printed with exceptional detail by the Spanish State Printing Office (F.N.M.T.), this issue is admired for its clean typography, crisp line work, and deep color saturation.
A popular item among collectors of Spanish regional issues, heraldry themes, and classic European definitives.
