Slovakia Coat of Arms, 1939

Slovakia · 1939 · 50 h

This stamp features the coat of arms of the First Slovak Republic, which depicts a double-barred patriarchal cross on a trimount. The design is simple and symbolic, printed in a deep red color, representing the new state's national identity.

Issued on March 21, 1939, this was the very first postage stamp of the newly formed Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany established shortly after the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia.
