The "Ardatov type" stamp is the philatelic name for the fifth design type used by EZGB to issue Zemstvo postage stamps starting in 1902. According to published sources, the name derives from Ardatovsky Uyezd, whose stamps were the first to be printed using this design.
In 1913, the Zemstvo post of Konstantinogradsky Uyezd (Poltava Governorate) was opened. Mail was sent from the uyezd center, the town of Konstantinograd (now Krasnohrad), to 16 locations within the uyezd. To pay for the delivery of private correspondence, Zemstvo postage stamps in denominations of 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, and 30 kopecks were used. They were printed in a private printing house and at EZGB. All stamps bear the image of the uyezd coat of arms. The stamps were cancelled with a round datestamp.
