The first official
postage stamp depicting Taras Shevchenko was discovered as a specimen yet
unknown in Ukraine a century after its issue, in 2010! It is beyond compare!
It is a specimen of semi-postal stamp, printed
in Germany for Ukraine in 1922-23. It is a stamp of state and national
significance. This stamp is one of the first Ukrainian stamps. It was
recognized a philatelic rarity at the level of the world community in the same
20th century, in the same 1923, two weeks after its appearance in Ukraine,
beginning of circulation, and... cancellation of its use in Ukraine!
In 1922, at the
international philatelic exhibition in Berlin, an agreement was reached with
the German Government Printing Office concerning printing a series of
semi-postal stamps for Ukraine.
The
unknown specimen of this semi-postal stamp was discovered and cataloged in
Ukraine, in the city of Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, a century later, in 2010. The series
has imperfection in printing of the main element of postage stamp, its name,
and unique purpose (famine relief)! The discoverer Yevhen Hryshchenko a researcher, writer and collector.
This
Berlin rarity was given several names: "Akkerman Unicum" and
"Ukrainian Uniqa".
In
the same 2010, the discovery of this remarkable semi-postal stamp was marked as
unique by the president of the Philatelist Union of Ukraine, Valery
Cherednichenko.
The first
and the last general and detailed data on the Berlin semi-postal issue for
Ukraine were widely broadcast and published in 1923-24 by the leading
specialized periodicals of France and Soviet Russia. And only in 2010, there
appeared newly discovered and updated information about the first Ukrainian
postage stamps in Ukraine.
"Akkerman Unicum" ("Ukrainian Unica") entered the history of discovery of
2010 with two philatelic identification attributes: imperfection in printing
and confirmation of imprint.
It is a unique
specimen, one of a kind, which used to be unknown, but was first discovered and
first cataloged in 2010. This specimen of the Ukrainian semi-postal stamp,
recognized a philatelic rarity along with the series, which had been issued
during the twentieth century since the year of 1923, for the reason of its
ultrashort circulation, was published in Berlin (Germany). Besides, it is one
of the first stamps in Ukraine, being a part of the last independent
Ukrainian issue until 1992.
Exclusive and unique character
of the discovery is also confirmed by the fact that the most famous stamps of
the world, such as "British Guiana" or "Blue
Mauritius", have the same main identification attributes as
"Ukrainian Uniqa". They include printing outside the country of
issue, curious mistakes in wording and application of stamps, and their being a
part of the first issue of their states. However, "Akkerman Uniqum"
("Ukrainian Uniqa") does not only have, but exceeds these
characteristics. This specimen of semi-postal stamp, as well as the whole
series, was recognized a philatelic rarity a century ago, though discovered in
our time!
