Croatia, 1994 Europa - Discoveries

Croatia · 1994 · 3.50 HRK

This stamp, part of the 1994 Europa series with the theme 'Discoveries', features the head of a Roman empress. The sculpture, known as the 'Head of a Roman Empress Plautilla', was discovered in the ancient Roman ruins of Salona, near modern-day Solin, Croatia. The design highlights Croatia's rich archaeological heritage from the Roman period.

Issued in 1994, this stamp was released shortly after Croatia gained independence, as the country was establishing its new national identity and philatelic program. The Europa series theme of 'Discoveries' allowed Croatia to showcase its significant ancient history.
