This definitive philatelic set focuses on the famous "Gold Standard" (Zolotoy Standart) series, featuring the legendary socialist realism artwork of Ivan Shadr. The meticulously engraved designs depict portraits of the Soviet Worker, Peasant, and Red Army Soldier, alongside specialized currency surcharge overprints inscribed with "zolotom" (in gold). Most stamps in this set bear authentic period postmarks and cancellation marks, while preserving Mint Hinged (MH) collection status on the reverse.
