The face value '10 EURO' appears in the field together with the mint mark 'M' and the 'CORREOS' logotype identifying the Spanish Post. The design integrates historical and modern postal iconography in a commemorative pictorial style befitting the 175th anniversary theme. |

| Additional information |
Spain issued its first adhesive postage stamp — the 6 cuartos depicting Queen Isabella II — on January 1, 1850, making the country one of the earliest adopters of prepaid postal reform in continental Europe. The design was engraved by Bartolomé Coromina, and the stamp's introduction followed the British Penny Black by less than a decade.
The 175th anniversary falls in 2025, which prompted this commemorative issue.
