Croatia 1941 Overprints Set of 4
Croatia · 1941 · 2 Dinar, 5 Dinar, 10 Dinar, 50 Para
This set of four stamps from the Independent State of Croatia, issued in 1941, features overprints on definitive issues of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Each stamp bears the text 'NEZAVISNA DRŽAVA HRVATSKA' (Independent State of Croatia) and 'FRANCO' (postage paid) in a circular design. The set includes denominations of 2, 5, 10 Dinar and 50 Para, each printed in a distinct color.
Issued shortly after the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, these stamps mark the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia, a fascist puppet state. The overprints on existing Yugoslavian stamps served as an immediate measure to provide postal services under the new regime, reflecting the rapid political changes of World War II.
