Croatia 1943 Zagreb Philatelic Exhibition Semi-Postal

Croatia · 1943 · 18 Kuna + 9 Kuna

This monochrome stamp depicts a bustling street scene in Zagreb, featuring traditional buildings, a prominent clock tower, and figures engaged in daily activities in the foreground. The design commemorates the Exhibition of the Croatian Philatelic Association, with the text 'IZLOŽBA HRVATSKOGA FILATELISTIČKOG SAVEZA' visible at the bottom.

Issued in 1943 by the Independent State of Croatia during World War II, this semi-postal stamp served to promote a national philatelic exhibition. It also raised funds, likely for wartime efforts or social causes, reflecting the cultural activities maintained even under the wartime regime.
