CUBA STAMPS

Cuba has a long and fascinating history of stamp production that dates back to the late 19th century. The first stamps used in Cuba were issued in 1855, during the Spanish colonial period. These stamps featured the portrait of Queen Isabella II of Spain and were in use until 1898 when Cuba gained independence from Spain.

After gaining independence, Cuba began issuing its own stamps featuring various themes such as national heroes, landmarks, and wildlife. The stamps were often printed in bright colours and featured intricate designs.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Cuba issued several sets of stamps featuring revolutionary leaders such as Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. The stamps were often used to promote the country's socialist ideals and were highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts around the world.

Today, Cuba continues to issue stamps on a regular basis, featuring a wide variety of themes such as sports, art, and culture. The stamps serve as a reflection of the country's rich history and cultural heritage and are highly valued by collectors and philatelists.
