Here are the key details about the 1914 stamp set issued by the Russian Empire:

• In 1914, Russia issued a set of 17 definitive stamps, with denominations ranging from 1 kopeck to 10 rubles. This was a new design series that replaced the previous Arms definitive stamps.
• The stamps feature a portrait of Tsar Nicholas II in military uniform, facing left. Nicholas II was the last Emperor of Russia, reigning from 1894 until his forced abdication in 1917 during the Russian Revolution.
• The portrait is framed within an oval border, with ornate designs and scrollwork surrounding it. The inscription “ПОЧТА РОССІИ” (Post of Russia) appears at the top of each stamp.

The 1914 Nicholas II definitive series is a well-known set from the final years of the Russian Empire. However, I should note that without specific catalog references or images, some of the precise details I provided about the denominations, colors, and designs may be inaccurate, as I don’t have authoritative information memorized for every stamp set ever issued. Please let me know if you have any additional details or corrections to share!
