The first issue of Tuva postage stamps took place at the end of October 1926. The miniatures were printed using the lithographic method. The issue consisted of 10 stamps with the same design but different colors. All the miniatures depicted the Buddhist "Wheel of Fortune" Dharmachakra (also featured in the first coat of arms of the republic). The denomination of the stamps ranged from 1 mungo (kopeck) to 5 tugriks. All the inscriptions were made using the old Mongolian Uyghur script. All the stamps were produced at the Moscow printing factory "Goznak" and were printed on standard sheets of 100. The stamps entered circulation on February 8, 1927, all of them are rare on envelopes and other items sent by mail from Tuva.
