RSFSR CKPG International Trading Tax 250 Rubles Stamp
Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic · 1922 · 250 rubles
A definitive stamp of the RSFSR featuring a prominent black overprint for 'International Trading Tax' and 'CKPG' with a denomination of 250 rubles. The underlying design is partially visible beneath the overprint.
Issued in 1922 during the early years of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, this stamp reflects the new Soviet government's efforts to regulate and tax international trade. The use of an overprint indicates a need for rapid issuance, possibly due to currency changes or a new tax policy.
