Helo yiorgos131313, welcome to Stamp Community.

Is there anything on the back / reverse of the stamp?

Where is the stamp mounted, in which country or section or topic?

Looks vaguely Greek to me.

It is a poster stamp or cinderella stamp or a picture cut to look like a stamp with perforations around maybe.

I would say it is French ,the fellow looks like he got a uniform on and the French issued many thousands of different stamp like Cinderella stamps at the turn of the century .

If there is no country and no currency indicated it is a label. Or a poster stamp.

Around the turn of the 1900s, a lot of people had stamps made up with their own images. (And we think personalized stamps are new today <G>)

I am wondering if this is one of those stamps? I saw an article some years ago and stamps of this type were called 'vanity' stamps.

Who knows?

It looks like Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria so maybe from a sheet of labels of heads of state?
