Title:
Servicio Sanitario - Municipal coat of arms
Description:
With unique control number in black at the bottom
This stamp is easily confused with the 1900 issue, and Forbin does not distinguish between the two. Identifying features of the 1901 issue include:
- the design is usually centered towards the middle, with top and bottom margins being roughly the same size
- the digits in the control number have distinct fonts, with curly tops to "5” and "7"
The Servicio Sanitario revenue stamps of Rosario were issued to pay fees for mandatory health examinations of registered prostitutes. They were affixed to booklets and were cancelled with markings indicating the results of the health check.
