With the picture you can sometimes collect some information about possible stamps on sites such as eBay or Delcampe.
Depending on the watermark of your stamp, the exact color and perforation, you can usually choose between several options for old stuff (of which only one is correct). Old stuff is not always easy.
Only you can decide, because you have the seal in your hands. Only you can see the watermark, count the teeth, measure them (do this with a ruler) to calculate the teeth. Or place it next to a perforation size and compare.
The exact color can sometimes only be determined with the real item in front of you. Scans (and especially photos) sometimes distort the colors to a lesser or greater extent. The exact color is difficult to determine based on a digital image.
Judging from the image (the condition of the perforation), it will be very difficult, even for someone who has the stamp in their hands, to determine the effective perforation.
Sometimes the watermark alone is decisive (a star or a crown or both - portrait, landscape or diagonal - ...).
It is philately, which includes the pleasure of seeking, finding and then knowing.

Yeah I was in the wrong thread, Lol
But speaking of this stamp, I found six different ones issued between 1860 and 1876 with different colors.
There are three with a pierced perforation.
But in any case it cannot be what the stamp now says, namely 1876
The 1876 stamp has an overprint namely OS
But maybe you are right that it is the 1872 stamp with the bright light purple color.
