Prague Castle Overprint on Austrian Stamp

Czechoslovakia · 1919 · 4k

This stamp is an Austrian postage due stamp featuring a large numeral '4' overprinted with 'POŠTA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ 1919' and a depiction of Hradčany (Prague Castle). The overprint was applied to existing Austrian stock following the establishment of the First Czechoslovak Republic.

Issued in 1919, this stamp represents a transitional period after World War I when the newly formed Czechoslovakia overprinted stamps of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire for its own postal use.
