Czechoslovakian Coat of Arms, 1920

Czechoslovakia · 1920 · 50 h

This definitive stamp features the lesser coat of arms of the First Czechoslovak Republic. The design prominently displays the Bohemian lion with the Slovak double cross on its chest, symbolizing the union of the two nations. The denomination '50' is placed in the upper corners, with linden leaves, a national symbol, decorating the sides.

Issued shortly after the formation of Czechoslovakia in 1918, this stamp was part of a series that helped establish a new national identity and postal system for the young republic.
