Brand: Ukraine

Ukraine · 1920 · 20 Hryven

This stamp is a provisional issue created by overprinting an existing Austrian stamp with a trident (tryzub) and the new denomination of 20 Hryven. The overprint was applied to various Austrian definitive stamps as a temporary measure to meet postal needs during a period of political transition and instability.

Issued by the Ukrainian People's Republic during its brief period of independence following World War I, these overprinted stamps reflect the chaotic conditions and the struggle to establish a national postal system.
