RSFSR Proletarian Freed Overprint

Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic · 1922 · 10,000 rubles

The stamp features a worker breaking chains against a backdrop of a rising sun, symbolizing the liberation of the proletariat. It bears a prominent black overprint of '10,000 rubles' on the original design.

Issued in 1922 during the early years of the RSFSR, this stamp reflects the revolutionary fervor and the economic instability of post-civil war Russia. The overprint was a common measure to adjust to severe hyperinflation.
