Coat of Arms, Postage Due

Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1904 · 1 Heller

This postage due stamp features the coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina under Austro-Hungarian administration. The design is dominated by the heraldic shield, with the denomination '1' prominently displayed at the top corners and the currency 'HELLER' at the bottom. The stamp's purpose was to indicate insufficient postage paid by the sender, with the fee to be collected from the recipient.

Issued during the Austro-Hungarian administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1878-1918), these stamps reflect the dual monarchy's control over the region's postal system before its formal annexation in 1908.
