Slovakia Postage Due Stamp

Slovakia · 1939 · 50h

This is a postage due stamp from the First Slovak Republic. The design is purely typographic, featuring the large numeral '50' for the denomination of 50 halierov, surrounded by decorative elements and the inscription 'SLOVENSKO'. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment for insufficient postage from the recipient of a mail item.

Issued in 1939, this was among the first stamps of the newly formed Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany established after the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia.
