This striking Russian Civil War period issue features the Imperial double-headed eagle in green, originally denominated 2 kopecks, later surcharged in red with a bold “10 Rub.” to meet rapidly rising postal rates during post-revolutionary inflation. Such provisional overprints were common as existing Imperial stock was reused under the new Soviet administration. The red surcharge diagonally applied across the design adds great visual and historical appeal. Highly collectible, it reflects the turbulent economic and political climate of early Soviet Russia and remains a sought-after piece among specialists in overprints and Russian transitional philately.
