Bosnia and Herzegovina Coat of Arms, Overprinted

Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1879 · 1 novčić

This stamp features the coat of arms of Bosnia, which includes a shield with six fleurs-de-lis and a diagonal band, set against a background of intricate patterns. It is overprinted with the denomination '1 novčić' in black. This was the first stamp issued for the Austro-Hungarian administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Issued in 1879, this stamp marks the beginning of the Austro-Hungarian administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina following the Congress of Berlin in 1878. The design, using a pre-existing Austrian revenue stamp form, established a new postal system under foreign control.
