Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1917 · 10 Heller, 15 Heller

This listing features a set of two stamps from Bosnia and Herzegovina, issued in 1917, with denominations of 10 Heller and 15 Heller. The stamps depict a portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I and are overprinted with 'WITWEN- UND WAISENWOCHE' (Widow and Orphan Week) and 'MILITARPOST', indicating their use as charity stamps for military post.

Issued during World War I, these stamps were part of a fundraising effort by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to support widows and orphans of soldiers. Bosnia and Herzegovina was under Austro-Hungarian administration at the time, and these issues reflect the wartime social welfare initiatives.
