This stamp is a Czechoslovakian definitive issue featuring a linden branch, overprinted in black with 'Slovenský štát / 1939'. The overprint signifies the establishment of the First Slovak Republic. The original stamp was part of the 'Hradčany' series, a classic design of early Czechoslovakia.

Issued shortly after the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, this overprint marks the creation of the Slovak State, a client state of Nazi Germany that existed until 1945.
