Why are there acorns on the stamp?
One of the most famous historical oaks in Ukraine is the Zaporizhian Oak, a legendary tree believed to be over 700–1000 years old, located in Zaporizhzhia. According to legend, Zaporizhian Cossacks gathered under this very oak to Hold councils, swear oaths, Plan military campaigns, write official letters, including the famous satirical "Letter of the Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan”. Though the original tree is now mostly dry, it remains a living symbol of the Ukrainian independence, the enduring strength of the nation and Ukrainian spirit
