Today, I thought of having some more recent stamps than usual..so I present here a small group of Croatian stamps and a set from Ukraine..
I don't know where this group of stamps from Croatia came from ... they just "appeared".. I don't remember to have bought them, so they must be a part of a larger lot of stamps I acquired in recent Years (2011, or 2012..)
This is the 1st Air Mail series of Croatia... the stamps are from 1991 and the series is complete..
Perf: 10.5 x 11
SG(154,155,156) Sc(C1,C2,C3)
in those days (1991,1992...) Croatia was a wounded country, recently emerged from a devastating War... so, it is not strange that there were many Postal Tax stamps, gathering financial help for the most diverse purposes.. here is a group of individual Postal Tax stamps
from left to right , we have:
1) issued in 01/11/1991.. complete set " Obligatory Tax. Workers' Fund. Re-erection of Ban Josip Jelacic Equestrian Statue, Zagreb" ; this was a postal Tax obligatory during all the November month..
Perf: 10.5 x 11

2) issued in 01/08/1992 .. complete set "Obligatory Tax. Fund for National Shrine to Madonna of Bistrica" ; obligatory during the month of August.

4) initially the surcharge was obligatory in all mail...in the middle of the year of 1992 , these stamps were allowed to serve as current postage stamps with the value of 10d (in this case..)
