Russia 70 Kopeck Generals Issue Inverted Frame Error

Russia · 1919 · 70 КОП.

The stamp features a portrait of a general in uniform, with the denomination '70 КОП.' at the bottom. The frame around the portrait is inverted relative to the central vignette.

This stamp belongs to the 'Generals Issue' (also known as 'Denikin's Issue'), a provisional issue from the Russian Civil War (1918-1922). The inverted frame is a famous printing error, making it a highly sought-after philatelic rarity.
