South Korea 1955 Korea-USSR Friendship Month, Imperforate Specimen

South Korea · 1955 · 20 hwan

This stamp commemorates the Korea-USSR Friendship Month of 1955. The design features the national flags of South Korea (Taegeukgi) and the Soviet Union (Hammer and Sickle) crossed in a gesture of amity. This particular item is an imperforate specimen, meaning it was produced for presentation or archival purposes and lacks the usual perforations for separation.

Issued during the Cold War, this stamp reflects a brief period of attempted diplomatic engagement between South Korea and the Soviet Union, a key ally of North Korea, following the Korean War armistice.
