Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1912 · 10 Heller

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary, facing right. The design is framed by ornate architectural elements, with the denomination '10' at the bottom corners and the currency 'HELLER' below the portrait. The inscription 'BOSNIEN-HERCEGOVINA' appears at the top.

Issued under Austro-Hungarian administration, this stamp reflects the empire's control over Bosnia and Herzegovina following its formal annexation in 1908. This series was the first to be valid only in Bosnia and Herzegovina, replacing previous Austrian issues used in the territory.
