The Transcaucasian SFSR was separated from Russia by the Caucasus Mountains, hence they were known as the Transcaucasian Republics.The first issue of the Transcaucasian Federated Republics consisted of eight 1909-17 Russian stamps overprinted with a five-point star. They were released on 15th September 1923. These first issues consisted of stamps of Russia and Armenia overprinted with a star containing the five-letter acronym of the federation inside the points.
Shortly thereafter, the TSFSR issued stamps of its own design.
