Bosnia and Herzegovina 5 Kreuzer Red, Perf 9¼

Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1912 · 5 Kreuzer

This postage due stamp features a large numeral '5' at its center, indicating the 5 Kreuzer value. The design is simple and functional, printed in red ink, with inscriptions in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts reading 'Bosnien-Hercegovina' and 'Porto'. This particular variety is distinguished by its rare 9¼ perforation.

Issued under Austro-Hungarian administration, this postage due stamp was used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient. The 9¼ perforation variety is significantly scarcer than the more common perforations, making it a key item for specialists.
