This stamp is a Czechoslovakian definitive from 1929, featuring a portrait of President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. It was overprinted in black with "Slovenský štát / 1939" (Slovak State / 1939) following the German occupation and the establishment of the Slovak Republic. The overprint signifies the political transition and the creation of a new postal authority.

Issued shortly after the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, this overprint marks the establishment of the First Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany. It was a provisional issue, adapting existing Czechoslovakian stamps for use in the new state.
