Western Ukrainian People's Republic 10 Shahiv Trident Stamp

Western Ukrainian People's Republic · 1919 · 10 shahiv

A 10 shahiv stamp featuring the Tryzub (trident), the national emblem of Ukraine, centrally placed within an ornate rectangular frame. The denomination is inscribed in Cyrillic at the bottom.

Issued by the short-lived Western Ukrainian People's Republic in 1919, this stamp represents a provisional postal service during a period of intense political upheaval and state-building following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
