Western Ukrainian People's Republic 1919 50 Shahiv Provisional Stamps

Western Ukrainian People's Republic · 1919 · 50 Shahiv

The stamp features the Ukrainian trident (Tryzub) emblem in the center, with 'Z.U.N.R.' at the top and the denomination '50 ШАГІВ' at the bottom, within an ornate frame.

These provisional stamps were issued by the short-lived Western Ukrainian People's Republic (ZUNR) in 1919, a state formed after the collapse of Austria-Hungary. Though intended for use, they were ultimately not released, making them significant historical artifacts of a nascent state.
