Portrait of President Antonín Novotný

Under Review

Description: This vintage 30-haléř (30h) definitive postage stamp was issued by Czechoslovakia, featuring a detailed three-quarter portrait engraving of Antonín Novotný, who served as the nation's president. The design centers on the statesman rendered in a classic intaglio style with intricate line shading across his face, hair, and suit jacket. The top border explicitly states the country name "ČESKOSLOVENSKO" in a crisp, clean serif typeface enclosed within a solid frame line. The face value "30h" is positioned in the lower-right corner, while the artist's minuscule signature imprint rests subtly along the central bottom border line. The composition is executed in a deep violet-blue ink on slightly off-white paper, featuring standard comb perforations.

Circa: 1958 - 1960s
