Poland Revenue Stamp, 1919 Coat of Arms

Name: Poland Revenue Stamp, 1919 Coat of Arms
Brand: Poland

Poland · 1919 · 1 mk

This stamp features the Polish coat of arms, a crowned white eagle on a red shield. The design is simple and functional, typical of early revenue issues, with the denomination '1 mk' (marka) prominently displayed. It was used for fiscal purposes, such as taxes and legal document fees, rather than for postage.

Issued shortly after Poland regained independence in 1918, this stamp represents the establishment of the new Second Polish Republic's financial and administrative systems. The use of the marka polska currency was a temporary measure before the zloty was reintroduced in 1924.
