Description: This fascinating philatelic artifact belongs to a rare semi-postal issue released by the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic following the collapse of its brief independence. The baseline 25-manat blue stamp was initially prepared as a standard definitive layout, but hyperinflation combined with the catastrophic 1921–1922 Povolzhye famine forced a rapid administrative redirection. Authorities used a bold, red lithographic surcharge to revalue the stamp up to a staggering 10,000 rubles Wikimedia Commons. The central panel proudly displays the territory name "საქართველოს საბჭოთა სოციალისტური რესპუბლიკა" (Soviet Socialist Republic of Georgia) centered above the original "25 მანეთიანი" (25 Manat) base denomination circles.
Circa: 1922
