This stamp, the first issued by the newly independent Ukrainian People's Republic, features a prominent trident (Tryzub), the national coat of arms. The design is simple and symbolic, printed on imperforate paper, signifying the nascent state's attempt to establish its own postal system.

Issued in Kyiv following Ukraine's declaration of independence from the Russian Empire, these stamps represent a brief period of sovereignty during the tumultuous aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution.
