Poland 1925 National Fund Surcharge

Poland · 1925 · 5 gr

This stamp is a definitive issue from the Second Polish Republic, originally featuring the Polish eagle. It was later overprinted in red with 'NA FUNDUSZ NARODOWY' (For the National Fund) and surcharged with a new value of 5 groszy. The overprint was a common method at the time to raise funds for national projects or to adapt existing stamp stock to new postal rates.

Issued in 1925, this stamp reflects Poland's efforts to stabilize its economy and foster national unity after regaining independence in 1918. The National Fund was established to gather public contributions for state needs.
