This definitive stamp features a dual portrait. On the left is a profile of King Peter I Karadjordjevic, and on the right is an allegorical figure of a Slovene man breaking his chains, symbolizing liberation and the unification of the South Slavs. The design is framed by ornate patterns, with the denomination at the bottom.

Issued shortly after the formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes following World War I, this series celebrated the new unified state and its first monarch, King Peter I. The 'Chainbreaker' motif was a powerful symbol of freedom from the former Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires.
