Croatia · 1941 · 1 Din, 2 Din

This set of two stamps features overprints of 'NEZAVISNA DRŽAVA HRVATSKA' (Independent State of Croatia) on existing stamps of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The denominations are 1 Din on a 1.50 Din stamp and 2 Din on a 4 Din stamp, signifying the new state's currency and authority.

Issued in 1941, these stamps mark the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia, a fascist puppet state formed during World War II after the invasion and dismemberment of Yugoslavia by the Axis powers. The overprints served to quickly legitimize the new government's postal services.
