Best Answer

Brazil was authorized by Law No. 43 to create postage stamps on November 30, 1841.

On August 1, 1843 Brazil issued its first postage stamps. The stamps had face values of 30, 60, and 90 reis. The stamps are known as 'olho-de-boi' ['bull's eye'], because of their design, which features large ornamental figures of the value inside an oval setting. The country's name doesn't appear on the stamp.

Brazilian bull's eye stamps are sought by stamp collectors for their rarity.
