Issued by Brazil in 1987, this commemorative stamp honors the Tribunal Federal de Recursos (Federal Court of Appeals), an institution central to Brazil’s judicial history.
The design features the Sword of Justice combined with balanced scales and an open law book marked LEX, framed by laurel branches symbolizing authority and legal integrity.
In the background appear architectural outlines of the Court’s historic and modern buildings, presented against a striking red–blue gradient sky.
Printed with crisp detail, it is a thematic favorite for collectors of law, justice systems, government institutions, and architecture.
Designed by Darlan Rosa, the issue reflects Brazil’s tradition of highlighting civic institutions through philately.
