Slovakia 1939 Coat of Arms Overprint

Slovakia · 1939 · 50 h

This stamp is an overprint on a 1929 Czechoslovakian issue. The original design features the Czechoslovakian coat of arms, which has been overprinted with 'SLOVENSKÝ ŠTÁT / 1939' in black ink to signify the creation of the new Slovak State.

Issued on March 21, 1939, this was the first postage stamp of the newly formed Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany established just days after the German invasion of Czechoslovakia.
