Ukraine · 1992 · 50 kopecks

This stamp is a definitive issue from the former Soviet Union, originally featuring a worker, overprinted with the Ukrainian Tryzub (Trident) coat of arms. The overprint signifies the transition of postal authority and national identity. This was one of the first stamps issued by the newly independent Ukraine.

Issued in 1992 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in late 1991, these overprinted stamps were a provisional measure to meet immediate postal needs while establishing Ukraine's sovereignty.
