Description: This iconic vintage specimen belongs to the celebrated 6th Definitive Issue of the Soviet Union (USSR). The design emphasizes socialist realism and Soviet industrial pride, portraying a heroic coal miner equipped with safety goggles and heavy protective gear while resting a jackhammer over his shoulder. The top of the frame carries the stylized Cyrillic text "ПОЧТА СССР" (Posta USSR), while the lower portion cleanly states the face value of "5 копеек" (5 Kopeeks) in a robust, bold font. This compact, typographed piece was distributed nationwide to fulfill basic domestic postage rates across the vast Soviet postal network during the mid-20th century.
