Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia 50h Postage Stamp
This item is a triangular postage stamp from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, featuring a face value of 50 heller ('h'). The stamp is predominantly white with blue and black ink. Its unique triangular shape is defined by perforations on all three sides, indicating it was separated from a sheet of similar stamps. The central design features a stylized burst or sunburst pattern in blue, radiating from a central point. Overlaid on this blue sunburst are the numbers '50' in a lighter blue hue, with a smaller 'h' indicating the currency unit in the lower part of the '50.' The border around the central design is a dark blue or black band, which also contains text. Along the upper-left edge of this border, the German inscription 'BÖHMEN UND MÄHREN' is visible in white capital letters. Correspondingly, along the upper-right edge, the Czech inscription 'CECHY A MORAVA' is present, also in white capital letters. The overall condition appears good, with clear printing and intact perforations, suggesting minimal wear for a philatelic item. There are no visible tears, creases, or major discolorations, though the background appears to be a dark, textured surface which might slightly obscure very fine details. The quality of printing is consistent with standard postage stamp production of its era, likely mid-20th century, specifically during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia (1939-1945).
