About this stamp

On the Stamp

An orange butterfly with black-spotted wings, on a ₹15 definitive.

Butterfly

India Post issued this ₹15 definitive on 20 November 2000; Colnect records it as printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik, on paper watermarked with the Asokan Capital. The stamp is inscribed simply “Butterfly” in Hindi and English, and does not name the species. No India Post brochure for this stamp is online, so this text keeps to Colnect and the stamp itself.
