История Камбоджи в почтовых марках
История Камбоджи в почтовых марках
The first Cambodian stamps were issued in 1951 with Royaume du Cambodge (Kingdom of Cambodia in French language). One of the stamps depicted His Majesty the King of Cambodia NORODOM Sihanouk. Before the early 1950s Cambodia used the postage stamps of Indo-Chine RF (Indochina FR in French language. FR means French Republic).
Photos of postal stamps, postcards and postal envelopes were taken with permission from collectors in Cambodia, Monaco, UK, France and Russia. Some of the pictures are from open web-resources in Internet.

What is interesting, with this postal
stamp, not only figures and faces of ice hockey players (as telling honestly -
we do not know, where and how modern Cambodian painters studied painting, as we
saw that very rare Cambodian painters could create paintings with realistically
looking people, especially problem for them - how to paint figures of the
people, mostly their paintings with people looking like cartoons, painted by 10
years old child), but also - the letters CSSR at yellow uniform of the player
in the centre: CSSR means Czechoslovak Soviet Socialist Republic. This
stamp was issued in 1990, for Olympic Games 1992. But, After the Velvet Revolution in late-1989, Czechoslovakia adopted the official name Czech and Slovak Federative
Republic (Czech: Česká a Slovenská
Federativní Republika, Slovak: Česká a Slovenská
Federatívna Republika; ČSFR) during the period
from 23 April 1990 until 31 December 1992, when the country was dissolved into the Czech
Republic and Slovakia. So, in reality, the player could not wear
uniform with letters CSSR in Olympic Games 1992 as shown in this postal stamp,
but was wearing uniform with letters CSFR, as official name of his country
became Czech and Slovak Federative Republic - CSFR since 23 April 1990.
