Argentina – Scott #s 1053-54

Description

Argentina Scott #1053–1054 — MNH — Christmas “Peace at Christmas” Issue (1974)

This beautifully artistic pair from Argentina’s 1974 Christmas issue celebrates the theme “Paz en Navidad” (“Peace at Christmas”) through two distinct and expressive designs.

• Scott #1053 — 1.20 Pesos
  Features a vibrant, folk-art-inspired dove rendered in bright patchwork colors. The bird of peace is depicted carrying a message of hope, surrounded by stylized decorative motifs. Designed by V. Campanella, it exemplifies the warm, handcrafted aesthetic widely popular in the 1970s.

• Scott #1054 — 2.65 Pesos
  Showcases a serene nativity-themed illustration by R. Soldi, with gentle brushwork and soft tones depicting Madonna and Child amid an ethereal blue background. A more traditional and contemplative complement to the modern style of its companion stamp.

Printed by the Casa de Moneda, both stamps are Mint Never Hinged with full original gum and vivid color. A wonderful pair for collectors of holiday issues, Argentine art on stamps, or religious and peace-themed philately.
