King Alexander I of Yugoslavia
Croatia · 1941 · 1.25 K
This stamp features a portrait of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia. It is an overprint on a definitive stamp of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, with the new state name 'NEZAVISNA DRŽAVA HRVATSKA' (Independent State of Croatia) and a new denomination of 1.25 Kuna printed over the original design.
Issued shortly after the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia, a World War II puppet state of Germany and Italy, these overprints were a quick way to create new postage by repurposing existing Yugoslavian stamp stocks.
