This striking stamp was issued by the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) during World War II as part of the Ratni Doprinos (“War Contribution”) series. The red design depicts a suffering figure with a bandaged head, symbolizing the hardships of war and sacrifice. Denominated 2 kuna, it was a semi-postal issue, with proceeds intended to support wartime efforts. These stamps were produced under Axis occupation, making them historically significant but also politically charged. A dramatic and rare piece of WWII-era philatelic history, highly sought after by specialists in wartime and occupation issues.
