Estonia's First Postage Stamp, 5 kopecks

Estonia · 1918 · 5 kopecks

This stamp, Estonia's first, features a simple yet elegant design of a floral pattern surrounding the numeral '5' for its denomination. The design is printed in black on thin, yellowish paper and was issued imperforate. It is commonly known as the "Flower Design" issue.

Issued in November 1918, this stamp marks the establishment of an independent Estonian postal service following the country's declaration of independence from the Russian Empire earlier that year.
