Bosnia – Serbian year 1997 Flora – Flowers Plants stamps set MNH

The stamp set you are asking about was issued by the Serbian Administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina (known philatelically as Bosnia-Serb or Republika Srpska).

This is part of an ongoing series of issues from the entity that was a result of the administrative divisions following the Bosnian War.

Details of the 1997 Flora – Flowers/Plants Set:

• Issuing Authority: Pošte Srpske (Postal Administration of Republika Srpska / Bosnia-Serb)
• Year of Issue: 1997
• Theme: Flora and Fauna (or sometimes listed solely as Flora – Flowers/Plants)
• Format: The full set generally consists of four individual stamps, often depicting endemic or native species of the region.
• Denominations and Subjects (Examples Reported): The stamps were denominated in the currency of the time, often in Pfeniga (pfeniga), and were released as a unified theme. Common depictions include:
  1. 10 pfeniga: Bosnian Lily (Lilium bosniacum)
  2. 20 pfeniga: Dinaric Gentian (Gentiana dinarica)
  3. 30 pfeniga: Edraianthus serpyllifolius (a type of bellflower)
  4. 50 pfeniga: Bosnian Pine (Pinus heldreichii)

This set is sometimes collected as a single release, or sometimes grouped with an accompanying fauna set from the same administration in the same year, depending on the catalog used. The “Flora – Flowers Plants set” itself is the group of the four stamps focusing on the plant life.
