Czechoslovakia 1918 Hradčany Castle, 5 haléřů

Czechoslovakia · 1918 · 5 h

This stamp features a design by the renowned artist Alphonse Mucha, depicting Hradčany Castle in Prague, a symbol of Czech statehood. The sun rises behind the castle, representing the dawn of the new Czechoslovakian republic. This was part of the very first series of stamps issued by the newly independent nation.

Issued in December 1918, this stamp was among the first postage stamps of the newly formed First Czechoslovak Republic, following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I.
