Issued in 1975, this 80 centavos commemorative stamp from Correos de México honors the 100th anniversary of the Academia Mexicana de la Lengua (Mexican Academy of Language), founded in 1875. The design, created by A. Rojas, features the Academy’s emblem — a classical torch surrounded by a laurel wreath with the Latin motto “Limpia, fija, da esplendor” (“It cleans, fixes, and gives splendor”), symbolizing the Academy’s role in preserving and enriching the Spanish language. The brown and gold tones give the issue a dignified scholarly aesthetic.
