Montenegro (Italian Occupation) "Provinz Laibach" Overprint
Montenegro · 1943 · 25 Centesimi
This stamp is an overprint on a definitive issue of Italy featuring King Victor Emmanuel III. The overprint reads "PROVINZ LAIBACH" in black, signifying its use in the German-occupied Province of Ljubljana after the Italian armistice. The original Italian stamp's design is visible underneath the bold, new designation.
Issued in 1943 during World War II, this stamp reflects the complex territorial shifts in the Balkans. Following Italy's surrender, Germany occupied former Italian territories, including parts of Montenegro and Slovenia (Province of Ljubljana), overprinting existing Italian stamps for postal use.
