Soviet Union (USSR) · 1950 · 40 Kopecks

This stamp commemorates the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic. The design features the coat of arms of the Latvian SSR, which includes a hammer and sickle, a rising sun, and wreaths of wheat, set against the backdrop of the Soviet red flag.

Issued by the USSR, this stamp marks a decade since Latvia's forcible incorporation into the Soviet Union in 1940, an event that followed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and is viewed by Latvia as an illegal occupation.
