Brand: Croatia

Croatia · 1951 · Multiple

This set of stamps was issued by the Croatian government-in-exile in Argentina. The designs feature prominent Croatian historical figures, national symbols like the coat of arms, and a map of the Independent State of Croatia. These were primarily intended as propaganda and fundraising tools for the exile community, rather than for actual postal use.

Following World War II and the establishment of communist Yugoslavia, many Croatian nationalists, including former Ustaše officials, fled and formed governments-in-exile. These stamps were produced to assert their claim to legitimacy and rally support among the diaspora.
