Description: This finely engraved olive-brown definitive stamp from Czechoslovakia highlights the historic Kremnica Town Castle complex, with a particular focus on the medieval Romanesque Rotunda of St. Andrew. The foreground elements showcase the distinctive conical roof of the rotunda structure alongside a stone fortification tower, an arched stone entrance gate, and a covered timber staircase walkway. Framed neatly inside a sharp rectangular line layout, the top banner states the country name "ČESKOSLOVENSKO", while the location name "KREMNICA" runs vertically down the upper right margin. The prominent "40h" face value centers along the upper section, complemented by the miniature signatures of the original graphic designer and the steel plate engraver placed flush along the bottom white margin. Part of a dark post office cancellation handstamp lightly marks the upper left margin to document its past processing through the domestic mail distribution network.
Circa: 1960 – 1969
Condition: Used - Hinged - Torn
Notes:
Located in modern-day central Slovakia, and founded in 1335, the castle complex in Kremnica was a highly fortified base. It was built specifically to protect one of the oldest and most productive gold and silver mints in the entire world.
