Bosnia and Herzegovina Coat of Arms, Blue

Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1912 · 10 Heller

This definitive stamp features the coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina under Austro-Hungarian administration. The design consists of a shield with a golden background, featuring an armored arm holding a scimitar, emerging from a cloud. The denomination '10' is prominently displayed in the upper corners.

Issued in 1912 during the Austro-Hungarian rule over Bosnia and Herzegovina, this stamp was part of a series that replaced earlier designs. It reflects the imperial administration just a few years before the outbreak of World War I, which was triggered by events in Sarajevo.
