Slovakia 1940 Postage Due Set of 11 Values

Slovakia · 1940 · 5h - 10Ks

This set of eleven postage due stamps features a simple, functional design with the country name 'SLOVENSKO' and 'DOPLATNE' (Postage Due) prominently displayed. The central motif includes the denomination within a circular frame, set against a background of intricate patterns. The lower values are printed in blue-grey, while the higher Koruna values are in red-brown.

Issued during the First Slovak Republic (1939-1945), a client state of Nazi Germany during World War II, these stamps reflect the postal administration of an independent, albeit politically constrained, Slovakia. They were essential for collecting underpaid postage during a period of significant geopolitical upheaval.
