Description: This is an authentic, high-value bicolored postal definitive issue from the Russian Empire. The central graphic design positions a white, crisp embossed representation of the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle topped by a sovereign crown, nestled cleanly inside an elongated sage-green oval medallion. Circling this center oval is an elaborate interlocking frame featuring intricate deep maroon scrollwork flourishes, framed on the left and right flanks by vertical panels reading "ПОЧТОВАЯ МАРКА" (Postage Stamp) in elegant Cyrillic block lettering. The absolute peak and base are balanced by matching horizontal text frames that explicitly establish the premium high face value as "3 РУБ. 50 КОП." (3 Rubles 50 Kopecks).
