Socialist Yugoslavia Torches Postage Due Stamp

Under Review

Description: This is an official postage due stamp (commonly designated as a "Porto" issue) from the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (F.N.R. Jugoslavija). The layout features dual bilingual headers and footers to satisfy regional requirements, using Latin characters reading "F.N.R. JUGOSLAVIJA" and "PORTO" at the peak, while mirroring the identical text lines in Cyrillic script at the bottom base frame. The central vignette displays an iconic piece of mid-century socialist heraldry, spotlighting five flaming torches bound tightly together in front of an expansive five-pointed star. Framed inside the bottom corners, the dual value configuration explicitly anchors the face-value denomination as "10дин." in Cyrillic script and "10 DIN." in Latin script. This specimen has been processed through active postal duty, marked by a crisp black circular town datestamp cancellation that cleanly intersects the upper and right borders.
