History
The Russian Empire during the late 19th century was a period of significant imperial expansion and consolidation.

Stamps like this one, bearing the national emblem, served not only as payment for postage but also as symbols of state authority and national pride. The design reflects the artistic and heraldic traditions of the era.

The double-headed eagle has been a prominent symbol of Russian statehood for centuries, originating from the Byzantine Empire. The denomination of 10 kopecks indicates a relatively common postal rate for the time. Stamps from this period are collected by those interested in Russian history and early philately, with variations in color, perforation, and condition affecting their rarity and value.
