Serbia 15 para Prince Milan Obrenović IV

Serbia · 1869 · 15 para

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of Prince Milan Obrenović IV of Serbia. The design is enclosed within an ornate oval frame, with the denomination '15 PARA' inscribed below the portrait. This issue is notable for its line perforation, a characteristic of early Serbian stamps.

Issued during the Principality of Serbia, this stamp reflects the nation's growing autonomy within the Ottoman Empire under the rule of the Obrenović dynasty. Prince Milan would later become the first King of modern Serbia in 1882.
