This stamp is a Hungarian postage due issue from 1915-1916, featuring the Hungarian coat of arms, which has been overprinted for use in Croatia. The black overprint reads 'SHS HRVATSKA' (State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, Croatia) and includes the new denomination.

Issued in late 1918, these overprints mark the transitional period following the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the formation of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, which would soon become part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
