Slovakia 1939 Postage Due Stamp

Slovakia · 1939 · 50h

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the First Slovak Republic. The design is purely typographic, featuring a large numeral '50' for the denomination within an ornate, rectangular frame. The text 'PORTO' at the top indicates its function as a postage due stamp, with 'SLOVENSKO' inscribed below.

Issued shortly after the establishment of the First Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany, this stamp marks the beginning of Slovakia's independent postal system during World War II.
