Russian Imperial Eagle Postcard Stamp

Russia · 1917 · 5 коп.

The stamp depicts the double-headed Russian Imperial Eagle with a crown, scepter, and orb, set within an oval frame. The denomination '5 коп.' is clearly visible below the eagle.

This stamp, featuring the Imperial Eagle, was issued during a tumultuous period in Russian history, just before or during the Russian Revolution of 1917. Its use on a registered postcard in 1918 highlights the continued, albeit brief, circulation of imperial symbols even after the revolution began.
