Iguazu Falls Stamp

The Iguazu Falls is one of the natural wonders of Argentina. The stamps below are part of a series created to promote Argentine nature, industry, and commerce. Here we see two specimens, one of which is overprinted in black "Servicio oficial" in two lines, used by government agencies. Note also the difference in color and printing quality of both stamps.
