Turkestan 10 Kopecks Handstamp

Turkestan · 1919 · 10 kopecks

The stamp features a large numeral '10' centrally, enclosed within a decorative, rectangular frame. The Cyrillic text 'ТУРКЕСТАН' (Turkestan) is at the top, and 'ПОЧТА' (Post) at the bottom.

This is an early provisional issue from Turkestan, likely used during the Russian Civil War (1918-1922) when local authorities issued their own stamps due to disruptions in central postal services.
