P265-USSR 1985 Velazquez Portrait of Olivares 50k Stamp Used w/ Tab Hermitage Ar

This appears to be a USSR / Soviet Union 1985 art stamp from the “Spanish Paintings in the Hermitage Museum” issue, showing Velázquez – Portrait of Olivares, denomination 50 kopecks. The set is cataloged as Michel 5476–5480, and dealers list the full mint set cheaply, which supports this being a common modern commemorative rather than a rare high-value item.

For your example, the stamp is used / postmarked and has the attached decorative tab/coupon, which is a nice selling point. From current market listings, the complete used set is advertised around €1.00, while the mint full set is commonly offered around £4.50 / US$9.77 depending on seller and format, so a single used stamp like this is usually only worth about £0.50–£1.50, with a realistic eBay listing price around £1.25–£1.99 if sold singly.
