Issued by Poland in 1983, this commemorative stamp marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Krajowa Rada Narodowa (National Council of the Homeland) founded in 1943 during World War II. The design features a symbolic hand holding a sword over the map of Poland, representing resistance, liberation, and national authority. Produced during the Polish People’s Republic era, the stamp reflects strong political and historical themes typical of socialist-period philately. The bold red inscription and wartime symbolism make it an important Cold War–era historical issue. Well collected within political history, WWII remembrance, and Eastern Europe thematic collections.
