An exceptional and highly desirable historical collection of vintage postage stamps from Ukraine, dating back to the period of the Ukrainian War of Independence (1918).
This premium philatelic set features the iconic first definitive issues of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR) denominated in "shahs" (shahiv). The collection is uniquely composed of five authentic quarter blocks (blocks of 4 stamps) covering the denominations of the series. The timeless designs showcase the national trident emblem (tryzub), the portrait of a Ukrainian peasant, and the famous allegorical portrait of "Young Ukraine" (a young woman wearing a traditional wreath). All stamps are in classic imperforate (unperforated) variants, preserved in premium Mint Hinged (MH) condition with full original character and no cancellation marks.
