Bosnia and Herzegovina 1912, 10 Heller, Franz Joseph I

Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1912 · 10 Heller

This definitive stamp features a profile portrait of Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork, with the denomination '10' at the top corners and the currency 'HELLER' at the bottom. The country name 'BOSNIEN-HERCEGOWINA' is inscribed along the bottom edge.

Issued under Austro-Hungarian administration, this stamp reflects the empire's control over Bosnia and Herzegovina following its formal annexation in 1908. The use of German text and the Emperor's portrait asserted imperial authority in the region just a few years before the outbreak of World War I.
