Slovakia 1939 Newspaper Stamps Set

Slovakia · 1939 · 5h to 2ks

This set of nine newspaper stamps from 1939 features the Slovak double cross on three hills, a prominent national symbol, against a sunburst background. Each stamp is inscribed 'SLOVENSKÁ POŠTA' (Slovak Post) and displays its respective denomination. The stamps are unperforated and printed in various colors.

Issued shortly after the establishment of the First Slovak Republic in March 1939, these stamps represent the nascent postal authority of the new state, which emerged from the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. They were specifically intended for the postage of newspapers and periodicals.
