Brand: Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1914 · 7 Heller, 12 Heller

This set features two stamps from Bosnia and Herzegovina, depicting a picturesque mountainous landscape with a river and a bridge. The original 1906-1912 definitive stamps are overprinted in red with new denominations, '1914. 8. 7 Heller' and '1914. 8. 12 Heller'.

Issued during World War I, these overprints reflect the increased postal rates in Bosnia and Herzegovina, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They were a provisional measure to update existing stamp stock with the new tariffs.
