This collection features stamps issued during the Indonesian National Revolution. The designs often include nationalist symbols, portraits of revolutionary leaders, and scenes depicting the struggle for independence from Dutch colonial rule. These stamps served both a postal function and as a powerful tool for propaganda and asserting sovereignty.

Issued between 1948 and 1949, these stamps were printed under difficult wartime conditions during the Indonesian National Revolution, a conflict between Indonesia and the Dutch Empire that followed the proclamation of Indonesian independence in 1945.
