A striking high-denomination stamp from Mexico’s long-running “México Exporta” definitive series, showcasing the nation’s export industries. This red-on-white design features a stylized array of steel pipes (tubería de acero) arranged in a modern industrial graphic style. At right appears the iconic Exporta eagle-head emblem, one of the most recognizable Mexican philatelic symbols. Issued for heavy commercial postal rates during Mexico’s inflation years, the 1600-peso value is a desirable high-value denomination. Designed by R. Davidson, this issue is popular among collectors of industrial themes and Exporta specialists.
