1921 Polish Eagle and Sower

Poland · 1921 · 5 Mk

This definitive stamp features a dual design. The left side depicts the crowned Polish eagle, the national coat of arms, symbolizing sovereignty and strength. The right side shows a sower casting seeds in a field, an allegory for the nation's agricultural roots and the sowing of a new future for the reborn Polish state.

Issued in 1921, this stamp reflects the early years of the Second Polish Republic, established after World War I. The imagery of the eagle and the sower was symbolic of national pride and the rebuilding of the country after 123 years of partition.
