Brand: Ireland

Ireland · 1922 · 2d

This definitive stamp features a simple map of Ireland, including both present-day Ireland and Northern Ireland. It is an overprint on a British stamp of King George V, with the Irish text 'Rialtas Sealadach na hÉireann 1922' (Provisional Government of Ireland 1922) printed over the original design. This was one of the first stamps issued by the newly formed Irish state.

Issued by the Provisional Government established by the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, these overprinted stamps represent a critical transitional period as Ireland moved towards independence from the United Kingdom.
