Slovakia Postage Due Stamp, Red Numeral

Slovakia · 1939 · 50h

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the Slovak Republic in 1939. The design features a large red numeral '50' indicating the 50 halierov value, enclosed within an ornate, decorative frame. The text 'SLOVENSKO' is at the top, and 'PORTO' (Postage Due) is at the bottom.

Issued shortly after the establishment of the First Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany, this stamp marks the beginning of Slovakia's independent postal system during World War II.
