Semi-postal stamp of Ukrainian SSR, 1923

Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic · 1923 · 5,000,000,000 karbovanets

The stamp depicts a worker holding a hammer and a peasant holding a sickle, symbolizing the worker-peasant alliance, with Cyrillic text and high denominations.

Issued by the Ukrainian SSR in 1923, these semi-postal stamps reflect the extreme hyperinflation of the early Soviet period and were likely used to raise funds for social welfare or relief efforts.
