The Republic of El Salvador is the smallest state in central America, but also the most densely populated.  Guatemala forms its north western border, Honduras its north eastern border, Nicaragua its south eastern border and the Pacific Ocean forms its south western border.  Its capital is San Salvador.  The country suffered serious political and economic instability in the 2^nd half of the 19^th century and the first half of the 20^th century.  Today the country still struggles with high rates of poverty, inequality and crime.  In 2001, the official currency, called the colon was replaced by the US dollar. 

In 1821, El Salvador became independent of Spain and since 1867 has produced its own stamps.  Until the 1950’s the designs on the stamps of El Salvador showed a clear North American influence as most of the stamps were printed by the American Bank Note Company, however after 1950, the stamps were printed in Europe and then locally, so that the designs show events of worldwide importance as well as local personalities and scenes.
