1800s Greek God Hermes 2 Lepta
Description
An extraordinary piece of philatelic and symbolic history, this framed Greek stamp features the winged profile of Hermes—the Greek god of travel, trade, and messengers. Printed in soft sepia tones, this 2 Lepta stamp is from the legendary Hermes Head series, issued in the 1800s and widely celebrated as one of the earliest classical postage stamps ever produced.
