Bosnia year 2000 stamps Summer Olympic Games – Sydney MNH**

The stamps for the 2000 Summer Olympic Games (Sydney) from Bosnia were issued by one of the country’s three post administrations that existed at the time. The most commonly found and catalogued set is from the Serbian Administration (Republika Srpska).

Here are the details for the Bosnia (Serbian Administration) 2000 Summer Olympic Games – Sydney issue:

• Issuing Entity: Bosnia and Herzegovina (Serbian Administration / Republika Srpska)
• Year of Issue: 2000
• Theme: Summer Olympic Games – Sydney (Sport)
• Set Composition: The full set consists of 4 individual postage stamps.
• Common Format: The stamps are frequently found either as a set of 4 individual stamps, or together in a Miniature Sheet (Souvenir Sheet) containing all four stamps.
• Designs (Sports Featured): The 4 stamps typically feature various sports against a backdrop that includes the map of Australia/Sydney, such as:
  • Handball
  • Basketball
  • Hurdles
  • Volleyball
• Condition: The “MNH” in your query stands for Mint Never Hinged, meaning the stamps are unused, have original gum, and have never been mounted with a hinge.

Catalogue Reference (Miniature Sheet):

• Michel: Often catalogued as a Block (Souvenir Sheet), for example, Michel Block 3 (B3) for the Serbian Administration issue.

Please note that in 2000, Bosnia and Herzegovina had three separate postal administrations (Serb, Croat, and Federation), and each may have issued its own stamp sets. However, the four-stamp set or miniature sheet featuring these specific sports for the Sydney Games is strongly associated with the Serbian Administration.
