Newspaper Stamp, 50 Haleru on 5 Haleru Green

Czechoslovakia · 1927 · 50h on 5h

This is a 1927 Czechoslovakian newspaper stamp, originally a 5 Haleru green stamp featuring a stylized falcon, which was later surcharged with a new value of 50 Haleru. The surcharge was applied in black ink, creating a provisional issue to meet postal needs. This particular stamp is famous for an error where the surcharge was applied inverted.

Issued during the First Czechoslovak Republic, this provisional stamp reflects the economic and postal adjustments of the post-World War I era. The inverted surcharge error is one of the most significant rarities in Czechoslovakian philately.
