Yugoslavia 75th Anniversary of the UPU on Cover, Zagreb 1950

Yugoslavia · 1950 · 10d, 20d

This philatelic cover features two stamps issued by Yugoslavia to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). The 10 dinar stamp depicts a map of the world with postal routes, while the 20 dinar stamp shows a mail plane flying over a globe. The cover has a special cancellation from the Philatelic Society of Zagreb, marking the occasion.

Issued in 1950, these stamps celebrate the international cooperation fostered by the UPU, an organization crucial for standardizing international mail exchange. This was a period of reconstruction and re-establishment of international ties for Yugoslavia following World War II.
