Croatia Coat of Arms, First Issue

Croatia · 1991 · 1 Dinar

This stamp features the coat of arms of Croatia, a red-and-white checkerboard (chequy) shield known as the šahovnica, surmounted by a crown of five smaller shields representing Croatia's historical regions. It was the first stamp issued by the newly independent Republic of Croatia.

Issued in 1991, this stamp marks Croatia's declaration of independence from Yugoslavia, a pivotal moment in the breakup of the former federation and the beginning of the Croatian War of Independence.
