Bosnia and Herzegovina Postage Due Stamp

Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1916 · 2 Heller

This is the first postage due stamp issued for Bosnia and Herzegovina under Austro-Hungarian administration. The design is purely typographic, featuring the numeral '2' for the denomination in a prominent central circle, surrounded by ornate scrollwork. The text 'PORTO' at the top indicates its function as a postage due stamp, with the denomination 'HELLER' at the bottom.

Issued during World War I under the administration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this stamp reflects the postal needs of the occupied territory. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment from the recipient for mail with insufficient postage.
