Description: This rare imperforate cinderella stamp belongs to the upper-value qintar denomination of the historic series prepared for the unrecognized Mirdita Republic (Republic of Mirdita), a short-lived breakaway state in northern Albania. The central vignette features a handstruck illustration of the traditional Albanian double-headed heraldic eagle, printed entirely in a deep sepia-brown ink against a coarse, light-tan cream paper backing. A rigid typographic box grid tightly frames the central emblem, with the top bar reading "VETËKEVERRIA" (Self-Government) and the right border displaying "E MIRDITIËS" (of Mirdita). The left side contains the vertical inscription "POSTA" (Post), while the bottom compartment states the regional currency unit "QINTAR". The numerical denomination 50 is explicitly housed inside small square panels positioned in all four outer corners of the layout. This specific specimen features two distinct overprints: a prominent, horizontal black typographic "TAKSE" (Postage Due) overprint stamped across the eagle's breast, and a vertical black bar cancellation completely blocking out the left "POSTA" text box.
