Description: This elegant definitive postage stamp belongs to the same mid-century series as the previous carmine specimen, this time showcasing a lower denomination variant. The central design presents a masterfully executed, line-engraved bust of Antonín Zápotocký facing slightly toward his left. The meticulous engraving style uses closely packed horizontal and contour lines to give depth to his facial features and suit jacket. The frame borders the image with clean, crisp lines, showing the state name "ČESKOSLOVENSKO" across the top banner in fine serif capital lettering. In the bottom-left quadrant, a prominent "30h" denomination indicates its postal value of 30 haléřů. Along the bottom frame border, the micro-printed artist signatures credit designer J. Poš and master engraver J. Jindra (Jindřich Schmidt). The bottom edge of this used example retains a partial wavy line cancellation from its historical transit.
