The design features the Museo de La Plata, a neoclassical building with its grand colonnade and iconic lion statues. Printed by the Casa de Moneda de la Nación, the stamp highlights the city’s cultural and scientific significance, as the museum houses one of South America’s most important natural history collections. A fine historical issue, it is valued by collectors of Argentine history and urban commemoratives.
