Slovakia · 1939 · 50h and 1K Slovak Koruna

This set features two stamps from 1939, originally Czechoslovakian issues depicting Milan Rastislav Štefánik. They bear a diagonal overprint 'SLOVENSKÝ ŠTÁT' (Slovak State) and 'SLOVENSKÁ POŠTA' (Slovak Post), signifying the establishment of the independent Slovak State.

Issued shortly after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and the creation of the First Slovak Republic under German protection, these overprinted stamps served as provisional postage for the newly formed state, reflecting a significant geopolitical shift in Central Europe.
