Description
This is a brown 25 groszy stamp from Poland, issued in 1919 as part of the definitive series. It features a stylized Polish eagle, the national symbol, designed by Wojciech Jastrzębowski. The stamp has a perforation of 11.5 and the inscription 'POCZTA POLSKA' at the top. This particular issue represents an early period of independent Polish postal services following World War I.
History
This stamp originates from the period after Poland regained its independence in 1918. The 'Poczta Polska' (Polish Post) was re-established, and new definitive stamp series were issued to signify the nation's sovereignty. The design elements, particularly the eagle and the decorative borders, reflect national pride and artistic trends of the early 20th century. The denomination of 25 groszy was a common value for postal services during that era.
Facts
The Polish eagle, featured prominently on this stamp, is a symbol with a long and rich history, dating back to medieval times. This particular artistic interpretation by Wojciech Jastrzębowski is notable for its modern, somewhat abstract style. Stamps from this early Polish republic period are significant for collectors interested in the nation's rebirth and its philatelic history.
Value Fact
Stamps from early independent Poland can vary significantly in value based on condition, rarity, and specific catalog numbers. This 25 groszy stamp, being a common definitive, would typically be found at a moderate price point. However, exceptional examples with pristine centering and fresh colors command higher prices among collectors focused on Polish philately.
