A highly significant, rare, and deeply historical philatelic collection from the period of the Ukrainian War of Independence and early Soviet transition (1919–1923), beautifully preserving the complex postal history of both the Western Ukrainian People's Republic (ZUNR) and the Ukrainian SSR.
The top row and the beginning of the second row showcase an exceptional run of the coveted 1919 Kolomyia provisional overprints (ZUNR) applied over Austrian definitive bases, featuring the early Ukrainian National Trident (Tryzub) and local currency updates. The middle row transitions into dramatic hyperinflation territory, featuring massive provisional overprints reaching 1500, 2500, 5000, 10,000, and 20,000 Hryven denominations. The bottom row highlights the complete and iconic 1923 Ukrainian SSR Famine Relief (Pomgol) semi-postal charity series, masterfully designed with allegorical representations of a worker conquering death, a mourning female figure representing Ukraine, and the portrait of Taras Shevchenko, rounded out by an attached blank sheet coupon. All stamps are in premium unused Mint Hinged (MH) condition with no cancellation marks.

- Set of 19 vintage stamps and specialized structural variants
- Authentic 1919 Western Ukrainian ZUNR provisional overprints and high-value UPR hyperinflation surcharges
- Includes the complete 1923 Soviet Ukraine Famine Relief (Pomgol) charity series with an attached sheet coupon
