Turkestan 1 Ruble Provisional Stamp

Turkestan · 1920 · 1 Ruble

The stamp features a simple hand-stamped design with the text 'ТУРКЕСТАН' (Turkestan) at the top, '1 РУБ.' (1 Ruble) in the center, and 'ПОЧТА' (Post) at the bottom, all within a rectangular border.

This provisional stamp was likely issued during the Russian Civil War (early 1920s) when local authorities in Turkestan created their own postal services due to disruptions in central government control, reflecting the political fragmentation of the era.
