Yugoslavia · 1918 · 2 Heller

This stamp features the coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a shield with a crowned arm holding a scimitar, set against an ornate background. It was originally issued by Austria-Hungary for use in Bosnia and Herzegovina and was later overprinted for the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Yugoslavia). This specific version is the base, unoverprinted stamp used in the transitional period.

Issued in the final days of World War I and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this stamp represents a transitional period before the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia).
