Tirol Local Post 20 Heller Dark Green

Issued during the immediate aftermath of World War I and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this local post stamp reflects the disruption of central postal services in the region of Tirol. It served to maintain essential communication locally when national services were unreliable or non-existent.
