West Ukrainian People's Republic Stanislaviv 1919 Provisional Stamp
West Ukrainian People's Republic · 1919 · 10 shahiv
The stamp features the Ukrainian trident (tryzub) national emblem in the center, encircled by the inscription 'Ukrainian People's Republic' and 'Stanislaviv 1919'. The denomination '10 shahiv' is printed below the emblem.
This is a provisional issue from Stanislaviv (now Ivano-Frankivsk) during the brief existence of the West Ukrainian People's Republic (ZUNR) in 1919, a period of intense conflict and state-building following World War I. It reflects the efforts of the newly formed republic to establish its own postal system amidst political turmoil.
