Diligencia

El primer sello postal de Uruguay, emitido en 1856

Diligencia was Uruguay’s first postage stamp, issued on October 1, 1856. Its name means “stagecoach,” because it paid for mail carried by that transport. Printed in Montevideo, the stamp shows a radiant sun face linked to Uruguay’s coat of arms, and is now highly valued by collectors.
