It is a Greek stamp. "Advice" (sic) as to what?

Do you have a catalog Mara? You can pick up a cheap one that will do fine or perhaps use the library. You might find it to be much more pleasurable than having to post repeatedly and wait for answers.

Just a thought.

No, not rare. Poorly centered. But you did not ask about the centering, you simply stated "please advice" (sic) and said that you thought that it was a "beauty".

Please note that the word denoting the currency is "Lepta" not "Aenta". It's a Greek stamp therefore those are Greek letters: lambda, epsilon, pi, tau, alpha. This was the Greek currency before they adopted the Euro. It was 100 lepta (singular: lepton) equalled one drachma.

This is from one of the issues of the 1880s, called "small Hermes heads" immediately following all the various "large" Hermes heads. This looks like it's from the Athens print (rough impression), first issued 1889-95.

Agree with rogdcam, a basic Scott catalogue (any year for starters) would make your collecting life easier. Used copies readily available.
