Montenegro (German Occupation) · 1943 · 20+30 Centesimi

This stamp features a portrait of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, based on the famous Prima Porta statue. The design highlights the classical heritage of the region. It was issued as a semi-postal, with the '20' centesimi covering postage and the '+30' centesimi surtax intended for war relief or other state purposes.

Issued during the German occupation of Montenegro in World War II, this stamp was part of a series used in the Province of Cattaro (Kotor), which was annexed by Italy and later occupied by Germany after the Italian armistice in 1943.
