Description: This vibrant vermilion-red postage definitive stamp features an energetic narrative illustration celebrating Yugoslavia's post-war agricultural productivity. The prominent central vignette focuses on a determined female farm laborer wearing a traditional headscarf and a patterned vest over her dress. She stands in a powerful stance, grasping a long wooden pitchfork as she winnows or moves loose stalks of grain. In the left background, another farmhand bends over to load heavy burlap sacks near a large threshing structure, while a pair of filled grain bags rests on the right. The state name "ФНР ЈУГОСЛАВИЈА" arches gracefully across the upper border inside a decorative ribbon banner using the Cyrillic alphabet, and repeats along a matching flowing scroll at the bottom using Latin letters. A large, stylized numeral "2" with "DIN" beneath it denotes its face value in the top right. Small margin inscriptions credit the graphic artist Pavel Gavranić on the left and the engraver Tanasije Krnjajić on the right.

Notes:
This specific issue was distributed during a crucial period of economic and political restructuring under Marshal Josip Broz Tito. Following Yugoslavia's historic split from the Soviet bloc in 1948, the nation abandoned rigid Soviet-style forced collectivization in favor of "socialist self-management" and worker cooperatives. This definitive stamp set deliberately moved away from standard heavy industrial machinery imagery to showcase the dignity, strength, and active participation of everyday agrarian laborers in reviving the country's post-war economy.
