Description
Issued in 1956, Macao Scott #413 commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Clube Militar Naval, a Portuguese naval institution founded in 1866. Released under Portuguese administration, the stamp reflects Macao’s maritime heritage and its historical ties to Portuguese naval and military traditions.
The design combines portraiture and naval imagery, featuring a uniformed naval officer at left and the patrol vessel Lancha Vega underway at right. Executed in finely detailed engraved and lithographic elements, the composition emphasizes discipline, service, and maritime readiness. A laurel wreath enclosing the club’s emblem appears at upper right, reinforcing the commemorative character of the issue.
Printed in muted yet balanced tones, the stamp carries a denomination of 10 avos, suitable for standard postal use. The integration of portrait, ship, and heraldic elements reflects mid-20th-century Portuguese commemorative design, blending realism with symbolic clarity.
This example is offered used, bearing a bold circular cancellation consistent with postal circulation. The stamp retains strong color, clear detail, and intact perforations.
