Poland · 1921 · 2 Mk

This definitive stamp features the Polish White Eagle, a national symbol, displayed on a shield. The design is simple and bold, with the denomination '2 Mk' (Marka) prominently displayed at the bottom. The country name 'POCZTA POLSKA' is inscribed in an arc at the top.

Issued by the Second Polish Republic, this stamp reflects the nation's re-established sovereignty after World War I. The use of the Polish Marka currency was a temporary measure before the introduction of the Złoty in 1924 during a period of hyperinflation.
