Croatia Postage Due Stamp

Croatia · 1941 · 0.25 Kn

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the Independent State of Croatia. The design is purely typographic, featuring the large numeral '0.25' in the center to indicate the amount due, surrounded by an ornamental frame. The text 'PORTOMARKA' at the top identifies it as a postage due stamp, with 'NEZAVISNA DRŽAVA HRVATSKA' (Independent State of Croatia) inscribed below.

Issued in 1941, this stamp marks the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia, a puppet state of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy during World War II, following the invasion of Yugoslavia.
