Postal transfer from the village of Golskovo, Podolsk Governorate, to the city of Balta, Podolsk Governorate, to the Balta Treasury.
In the Russian Empire, savings stamps were used starting in 1890.
On January 1, 1900, the third issue of Russian savings stamps took place. These were accumulation-purpose stamps in three denominations: 1, 5, and 10 kopecks.
In 1918, due to a shortage of low-denomination postage stamps and the complete cessation of deposits to savings banks because of the civil war that had begun, savings stamps with denominations of 1, 5, and 10 kopecks began to be used as postage stamps. The circulation of these stamps soon ceased on its own, because as a result of the rapid падение exchange rate of paper money the postal tariff kept rising, and low-denomination postage payment stamps fell out of use.
