This 5 Centavos blue and black stamp was issued by Correos del Perú in 1919 to commemorate the adoption of the new Peruvian Constitution under President Augusto B. Leguía. Bearing the inscription “Patria Nueva” (“New Nation”), it reflects the spirit of modernization and reform during Leguía’s early presidency. The central portrait of Leguía is framed by the national coat of arms and ornate engraving by Litografía Berrío, Lima. A notable early 20th-century issue symbolizing Peru’s constitutional and political renewal.
