Russian Empire 10 Kopeck Error Stamp
Russian Empire · 1902 · 10 kopecks
The stamp features the double-headed Imperial Eagle of Russia, crowned, with a shield on its chest. The denomination '10 КОП.' is at the bottom. The error appears to be a significant color shift or misregistration.
This stamp belongs to the definitive series of the Russian Empire, issued in the early 20th century, a period of significant political and social change leading up to the 1917 revolution. The existence of a print error makes it a philatelic curiosity, highlighting manufacturing imperfections of the era.
