Argentina – Scott # 1524

Description

Argentina Scott #1524 — MNH — “Begonia” (Begonia micranthera var. hieronymi) (1983)

Issued in 1983 as part of Argentina’s botanical definitive series, this stamp features the delicate Begonia micranthera var. hieronymi, a species native to South America and appreciated for its clusters of soft, vivid blossoms. The illustration showcases drooping stems and richly shaded pink flowers, rendered with elegant botanical accuracy.

Designed by J. M. Fouret and printed by the Casa de Moneda, the stamp follows the clean, white-background format of the series, giving the artwork a crisp, modern presentation that highlights the beauty of the plant.

This example is Mint Never Hinged, with full original gum, bright color, and a sharply printed impression. (The image is shown upside-down in the scan; the stamp itself is correctly oriented and fault-free.)

A perfect addition for collectors of:

• Botanical and floral themes

• Argentina definitive issues

• Latin American flora
