Lithuania · 1991 · 10 Kopecks

This is a provisional stamp issued by Lithuania shortly after regaining independence. It features a red surcharge with the country name 'LIETUVA' and a new denomination printed over a definitive stamp of the former USSR. The underlying Soviet stamp depicts a stylized postal horn and envelope.

Issued in 1991, this stamp represents a transitional period as Lithuania re-established its postal independence from the collapsing Soviet Union, overprinting existing USSR stamp stock for immediate use.
