A historically rich and comprehensive collection of vintage postage stamps from the early Soviet Union (USSR), issued during the crucial currency stabilization period between 1923 and 1927.
This specialized philatelic set focuses on the legendary "Gold Standard" (Zolotoy Standart) series, featuring the iconic socialist realism artwork of Ivan Shadr. The collection stands out for its premium layout, showcasing a pristine 3-kopeck quarter block of 4 stamps (Peasant portrait), alongside a dedicated selection of early "Doplata" (Postage Due) overprints, and various single definitive issues depicting the Soviet Worker, Peasant, and Red Army Soldier. A significant number of stamps bear authentic period postmarks and cancellation marks, while preserving Mint Hinged (MH) collection status on the reverse.
