This set features two definitive stamps from Bosnia and Herzegovina, issued in 1916. Both stamps depict a dignified portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary, who ruled the empire during this period.

Issued during World War I, these stamps reflect Bosnia and Herzegovina's status as a territory within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Franz Joseph I was the long-reigning emperor whose assassination of his heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, in Sarajevo, Bosnia, triggered the start of World War I.
