Russian SFSR 5 Rubles on 20 Kopecks Imperial Stamp
Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic · 1918 · 5 rubles
A Russian Imperial 20 kopecks stamp featuring the double-headed eagle, overprinted diagonally in black with '5 РУБ.' and 'Р.С.Ф.С.Р.' to denote a new denomination and issuing authority.
Issued in 1918, this stamp reflects the immediate aftermath of the Russian Revolution, where the newly formed Russian SFSR re-purposed existing Imperial stamps by overprinting them with new denominations and its own name.
