This classic Netherlands 2 Cents stamp belongs to the long-running Queen Wilhelmina Numeral series issued between 1899 and 1921. Printed in a warm brown shade on unwatermarked paper, it features the ornate numeral “2” framed by intricate scrollwork typical of Dutch typography of the era. These stamps were widely used for domestic postal rates, making well-struck circular cancellations—like the one on your example—especially desirable to postal-history collectors. Its crisp impression and balanced design make it a staple of early 20th-century Netherlands philately.
