Slovenia 1919 Chainbreakers, 3 Filler on 3 Heller
Slovenia · 1919 · 3 Filler on 3 Heller
This stamp features the iconic "Chainbreaker" design, an allegory for liberation and the breaking of ties with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A muscular figure is depicted shattering chains against an anvil, with the sun rising in the background symbolizing a new dawn. This particular issue is an overprint on a 3 Heller stamp of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the new value of 3 Filler and the country name "SLOVENIJA" printed on top.
Issued in 1919, this was among the first stamps for the Slovenian region of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) following the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I.
