This classic Greek 5 Drachmai stamp depicts Hermes, the divine messenger, holding the small figure of Telephoros, symbol of good fortune and healing. Issued between 1911 and 1926, this value belongs to the later “Engraved Hermes” series printed in a distinctive blue shade. The intricate meander-style side frames and crisp line engraving make it a favourite among collectors of classical Greek mythology themes. Postally used examples like this one, with clear circular cancellations, remain sought after for their historical charm and bold design. A fine representative of early 20th-century Greek philatelic artistry.
