This 1902 postage stamp from Guatemala features the nation’s coat of arms with the resplendent quetzal, symbol of liberty, perched atop a parchment inscribed “Libertad 15 de Sept. de 1821”, marking Guatemala’s independence from Spain. The design combines a rich violet central vignette with a bold green ornamental frame, giving it striking visual appeal. Issued during the early 20th century, this stamp also carries the UPU (Universal Postal Union) marking, reflecting Guatemala’s role in international postal exchanges. A fine example of Central American philatelic history, it remains highly collectible for both classic and Latin American specialists.
