This Swiss definitive stamp, issued in 1882, features the classic Standing Helvetia design symbolizing the personification of Switzerland. The central motif displays the Swiss cross within an ornate frame, inscribed “FRANCO” and “HELVETIA.” Printed in brown and denominated 2 Rappen, it was part of the perforated issues produced by typography. The example shown bears a clear circular cancellation from Neuchâtel, adding postal history value for collectors. These early Helvetia seated and standing issues are highly regarded for their intricate engraving and historical continuity in Swiss philately.
