Latvia · 1920 · 10 kopecks
The stamp features a left-facing portrait of a man, likely General Bulak-Balakhovich, within a decorative frame. The denomination '10 kopecks' and the country 'Latvia' with the year '1920' are inscribed at the bottom.
This stamp was issued in 1920 for the 'Asobny Atrad' (Special Detachment) of General Stanisław Bułak-Bałachowicz during the Russian Civil War. It reflects the complex political landscape and provisional administrations of the time in the former Russian Empire, representing a specific, short-lived military-political entity.
