Sitting presidents on postage stamps – an unusual Czech tradition

The Czech Republic is one of the few countries in Europe whose incumbent
presidents appear on postage stamps. A first such stamp was issued in 1920,
featuring the first Czechoslovak president, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. Since
then, almost every Czech head of state has been pictured on a stamp.
