1919 4k on 10k Carmine Rose Inverted Surcharge

Czechoslovakia · 1919 · 4k on 10k

This stamp is a definitive issue originally valued at 10 kronen, featuring a carmine rose color. It was later overprinted with a new 4 kronen denomination. This particular variety is famous for its inverted surcharge error, where the '4k' overprint was applied upside down.

Issued in the early days of the First Czechoslovak Republic, this overprint error occurred during a period of currency reform and adjustment following the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
