Bosnia and Herzegovina 5 Kreuzer Red, Perf 9¼

Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1912 · 5 Kreuzer

This is a postage due stamp from the Austro-Hungarian administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The design is simple and functional, featuring a large numeral '5' to indicate the amount due, surrounded by an ornate, decorative frame. The denomination 'KREUZER' is printed at the bottom.

Issued under Austro-Hungarian rule, these postage due stamps were used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter. The perforation variety of 9¼ is significantly scarcer than the more common perforations.
