This stamp commemorates the 120th anniversary of the first postage stamps issued in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The design features a 'stamp-on-stamp' motif, reproducing the 1879 1 Kreuzer stamp, which depicted the double-headed eagle of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The new stamp's design frames the classic issue with modern text and denomination.

Issued in 2000, this stamp looks back to the Austro-Hungarian administration period (1878-1918) when the first stamps were introduced in the region, marking a significant milestone in the country's postal history.
