A handmade replica of a postage stamp from 100 years ago.

You can use this vector file in Inkscape as a template:

1) To change the color use Extensions - Color - Replace color.

2) To change the text: open Layer3: texts. Hide the 'text name path', then unhide the 'text name'-text and change the text.

3) To change the picture: For demonstration I used the portrait of the actual president of the United States, but you can use your own picture here. In Layer4: image, Release clip, then replace the image with your own, select both the image and the circle for clipping and Set clip. (Tip: you can use my Gimp plugin https://github.com/RaffertyR/fake_engraving to achieve an engraved image).
