Poland Revenue Stamp, 500 Złotych

Poland · 1948 · 500 Zł

This is a Polish fiscal or revenue stamp, not a postage stamp, used for collecting taxes or fees. The design features the Polish coat of arms, a crowned white eagle, centrally located within an ornate, guilloche-patterned frame. The denomination '500 ZŁ' is prominently displayed at the bottom.

Issued in the early post-WWII period under the Polish People's Republic, this stamp reflects the re-establishment of state financial systems. Revenue stamps were essential for documenting transactions and collecting government funds during the country's reconstruction.
