Estonia 1918 First Definitives (2v)

Estonia · 1918 · 5 kopecks, 15 kopecks

This set of two definitive stamps features the inscription 'EESTI POST' (Estonian Post) in a central rectangular frame. The frame is surrounded by an intricate ornamental pattern, often referred to as the 'flower design' or 'coiled serpent' pattern, with the denomination '5K.' or '15K.' repeated in the corners.

These stamps represent Estonia's first definitive issues, released shortly after the country declared independence from Russia in 1918. They symbolize the nascent Estonian state's establishment of its own postal service and national identity.
