Korean Postage Stamp, 1946

South Korea · 1946 · 50 Chon

This definitive stamp was part of the first series issued by the US Military Government in Korea following the end of World War II. The design is simple, featuring the denomination '50' prominently in the center, surrounded by decorative patterns and Korean characters indicating the value and country name.

Issued during the post-liberation period under American military administration, this stamp represents a transitional phase in Korea's postal history before the formal establishment of the Republic of Korea in 1948.
