A highly exotic and avidly collected historical set of vintage postage stamps from the independent Tuvan People's Republic (Tannu Tuva), dating from 1926 to the 1930s.
Tuvan stamps from this era are legendary in the philatelic world for their vibrant, detailed portrayals of Inner Asian nomadic life, regional wildlife, and distinct cultural symbols. This curated collection includes beautifully engraved pictorial issues depicting hunting, herding, and local fauna, as well as a striking four-stamp run of the scarce 1926 first definitives featuring the Buddhist Wheel of Law (Wheel of Life) with traditional Mongolian script. Several stamps in this set bear authentic period postmarks, while others preserve Mint Hinged (MH) collection status on the reverse.
Features:
- Set of 11 vintage stamps
- Authentic Tannu Tuva (Touva) early independent issues
- Circa 1926 to 1930s era
- Features famous ethnographic nomadic life illustrations and the 1926 Buddhist Wheel of Law series
- Distinctive large formats and intricate historical engravings
- Mint Hinged (MH) condition with select historical cancellation marks / postmarks
The set includes stamps with various denominations, such as:
- 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 50 kopecks (including variants with local Tuvan currency notations).
